West Yorkshire Police - Force Training School. The new Carr Gate complex houses Firearms, Driver, Public Order, Crime, IT, Foundation and Leadership and Development training.
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.
