Basically, to enforce criminal law, deter crime, and arrest offenders.

All other duties are just responsibilities that have been added on over the years. . . mainly because the police are just about the only 24/7/365 agency of government which can be counted on to answer the phone at any time of day or night and respond.

The overall aims of all of the Yorkshire and Humber Police Force is:

  • To provide the best possible service to all members of our community who require our services, whether that be as a victim of crime, because of an accident or personal crisis or simply for advice. Our aim is to provide you with the same level of service, as we would expect for ourselves.

  • To reduce crime in line with targets we have set (with our Safer Yorkshire Partnership) we have identified some objectives. This means reducing crime in ten key areas as identified as being of greatest concern to communities and as recorded annually in the British Crime Survey (BCS). These include personal robbery offences, burglary in people's homes, assault and criminal damage.
