By Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Allan Doherty

Welcome to the home page of Airedale and North Bradford division.

My officers and I are working hard to ensure all communities in our area have a safe and crime free Christmas and new year period. We launched a burglary reduction project to coincide with the clocks going forward recently which has seen my staff distributing thousands of light timer switches into areas that have experienced burglaries in the past. Most crimes are opportunist and therefore we believe that making it more difficult for a burglar may in some cases put him off altogether and if not certainly makes it more risky for him.

A massive expansion is taking place to the Automatic Number Plate Recognition system in the Bradford district. My officers are working closely with partners from Bradford Council to have the new system in place and operational in early December. The new system will see many new 'readers' linked to CCTV cameras across the entire district. This will help us to track down criminals who use cars in crime as well as those people who drive their vehicles without insurance.

Finally we are making preparations for the Christmas and new year holiday period itself. We always experience big increases in some types of incident around this time and in order to minimise the effect on our communities we will be putting a number of special initiatives in place. Drinking and driving will again be targeted as will public order around town centres.

We want all our residents and those who visit our division to feel safe and not to be affected by crime, and you can count on my officers and myself to work hard to deliver this for you this Christmas.
