Summary of HMIC baseline assessments.
North Yorkshire Constabulary has the vision of being the leading police service in England and Wales. This vision is reflected in its strategic plan and is supported by a major business change initiative within the force.
Operation Delivery, launched in September 2003, has brought about a step change in performance across the force’s business change initiative, particularly in relation to reductions in crime, a focus on increasing detections and improved call handling. During 2004/05, the force achieved a 13.4% reduction in crime compared to the previous year, and over one-third of all recorded crime (35.1%) was detected. The target for 2005/06 has been set at a challenging 40% detection rate for overall crime.
The force is currently rolling out a neighbourhood policing model and is addressing public reassurance issues through the effective use of the extended police family.
