It always gives me great pleasure to welcome all new officers into North Yorkshire Police. I am especially pleased to welcome those who volunteer, giving their own time working as Special Constables.

The new officers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience with them from their day jobs.

I know that the regular colleagues the specials will work alongside greatly value and appreciate the contribution they give.
