North Yorkshire Police Authority is an independent body of 17 members, created on 1 April 1995.
The area served by the Authority and the North Yorkshire Police Force comprises the North Yorkshire County Council and the City of York areas - one of the largest policing areas in the country.
The Authority's Primary Responsibilities are:
- To secure an efficient and effective police service on behalf of the local community
- To hold the Chief Constable to account for police performance, on behalf of local people
- To ensure that there is continuous improvement in the delivery of the police service in our area
The Authority works with the Chief Constable to prepare a rolling 3 year strategy for the development of the service which sets out the way in which the area will be policed having regard to the Home Secretary's national policing priorities and the local priorities determined by NYPA. This document is called North Yorkshire Policing Plan.
