StreetSafe is an online tool on the police.uk website which was launched in September 2021 by the Home Office. It enables members of the public to anonymously pinpoint public places on a map where they have felt or feel unsafe and identify environmental or behavioural factors about those locations that make them feel this way.
West Yorkshire Police latest news and appeals are now available on Amazon devices, to be read aloud by 'Alexa' smart speakers.
West Yorkshire Police strive to deliver high quality policing. For us there is no greater priority. We understand that if we are going to learn from experience and find ways to be even better, we need to listen and respond to the needs and views of the people in West Yorkshire. Your views are therefore very important to us. If you are pleased with the service you have received from us we would like to hear from you. If you are unhappy about the service that you’ve had, you can express your dissatisfaction or make a formal complaint.

Positive Action is the phrase we use for how we attract, develop, and retain talent from underrepresented groups in society. It’s a set of initiatives under the Equality Act 2010 which promotes equal opportunity. Positive Action is sometimes misunderstood.
