North Yorkshire's Deputy Chief Constable has spoken of the usefulness of the force's public safety scheme's success.
The innovative pilot for a new service to keep residents of North Yorkshire and York safe and feeling safe was launched in Craven on 1 April 2020.
The Public Safety Service brings together a number of organisations, currently including North Yorkshire Police, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service to help prevent vulnerability and reduce harm and to improve the safety and resilience of rural communities.
The scheme was being piloted in the Craven district with the intention of rolling it out across the whole county and city.
The main focus of their role is providing crime prevention, fire safety and health and wellbeing information, and supporting community problem solving.
They are also on-call firefighters and so will be on call with the local fire service crews as well as being emergency first responders for Yorkshire Ambulance Service and being part of the local policing team providing early intervention and monitoring antisocial behaviour.
The scheme is now permanent in the Craven region of North Yorkshire, Deputy Chief Constable of North Yorkshire, Scott Bisset suggests it may be worth expanding to other rural areas:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
