Jo Coles, York & North Yorkshire Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime said:

“Serious violence has a devastating impact on victims, their families and communities and we’re committed to working with partners across York and North Yorkshire to look for solutions and improved ways of working.

“To help us with that work we’re asking anyone who’s been affected by violence, in any way, to take part in this really important survey.

“Thank you to all those who take part who will be supporting our work to keep York and North Yorkshire as one of the safest places to live, work and visit.”

 

Under the Serious Violence Duty introduced in January 2023, the York and North Yorkshire Office for Policing, Fire, Crime and Commissioning (OPFCC), part of the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, has a duty to convene partners including North Yorkshire Police, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Probation services, North Yorkshire Council, City of York Council and the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board to develop a strategy around Serious Violence. 

To support the development of this strategy, the Office for Policing, Fire, Crime and Commissioning, and partners, welcome views from members of the public on the impact Serious Violence has on communities and how to address this in their local area.
