Julian has welcomed news that crime is falling across North Yorkshire.
Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that, since 2010, recorded crime in the force area has fallen by 16 per cent.
The Government’s action plan to tackle crime includes freeing the police to fight crime by cutting red tape and scrapping unnecessary targets, giving criminals tougher sentences so communities are protected and giving the police the powers they need to tackle criminals.
Julian said:
“The 16 per cent fall in crime across North Yorkshire since 2010 is very welcome and thanks to the hard work of police officers and communities across the county.
“It is important we continue to work together and do all we can to ensure North Yorkshire is an even safer place for everyone who lives and works here.”
