Monday 13th June 2020 saw the celebration of Neighbourhood Watch becoming a part of communities throughout West Yorkshire. We had planned to celebrate in style with an event designed to say thank you to our hard working Neighbourhood Watch Volunteers, at our Carr Gate Training Centre, but unfortunately due to lock down restrictions at the time this was not able to go ahead.
Neighbourhood Watch is the largest voluntary crime prevention group in the country. It is based on the idea of communities coming together to help reduce crime and increase community cohesion. People join Neighbourhood Watch for many different reasons, whether it is to improve personal safety and security around their home, or to become part of a group and meet new people. Neighbourhood Watch also brings communities together that share a sense of responsibility for where they live.
West Yorkshire Police is committed to neighbourhood policing, delivering services and making decisions as close to communities as possible
West Yorkshire Police has 47 Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) which are Inspector led and made up of Sergeants, Constables and Police Community Support Officers.  A total of 1722 Police Officers and Police Community Support officers are performing this valuable role.

The band was formed out of the Bradford and Leeds City Police Bands when in 1974 the Leeds and Bradford Forces amalgamated to form part of The West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police. The bands merged to become The West Yorkshire Police Band. Initially the Band was military in style, with woodwind, brass and percussion it wasn't until 1984 a new ethos was agreed and since then the Band has been styled in the traditional Brass Band format. Originally comprised solely of serving police officers, the band now draws from the wider police family, retired police officers and members of the public. The band has one of the largest number of regular volunteers for West Yorkshire Police contributing an average of 4500 volunteering hours each year.
