Rugby League stars will be helping West Yorkshire Police kick crime into touch.
The Force, in conjunction with the county’s Superleague clubs, have launched this year’s ‘Cop Trumps’ initiative.
Based on the popular card game, Cop Trumps will feature pertinent crime prevention messages which address issues relating to young people on one side and photos of rugby players with statistics such as try scores, on the reverse.
Issues relating to anti-social behaviour will be one of the key messages highlighted on the cards which will coincide with Rugby League’s Respect Agenda.
New to the card scheme, the Force has introduced the Legend Card, which features rugby legends of the past.
Young fans of Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers, Wakefield Wildcats and Huddersfield Giants will be able to collect the cards from their local Neighbourhood Policing Teams during summer events.
Project Officer, Karen Mack of the Force’s Local Policing department said: “Cop Trumps are not only a fun way of helping to create safer communities it is also a good opportunity for young people to get to know their local NPT officers as well.”
