Volunteer Police Cadets scheme for 13 – 17 year olds Are you interested in becoming a Volunteer Police Cadet?
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.
Within West Yorkshire Police there are Police Officers and Support Staff who form the dedicated Child and Public Protection Unit.
West Yorkshire Police has an internal magazine for its staff and retired police officers. The Force does not publish or distribute any other emergency services publications.
The West Yorkshire Police Green Police Network (GPN) provides support, advice and guidance to Members and to any interested Officers and Staff in relation to green/ethical and dietary matters. It works to influence West Yorkshire Police policy development in making positive changes in relation to these matters, whilst building an effective network which benefits its members and wider Officers and staff.
