WEST Yorkshire Police is inviting the public to have their say. During January, the Force is asking people how they prefer to contact the police.
Currently the methods of communication are:
Calling 999
Calling 101, the new non-emergency number
Public enquiry counters in police stations
PACT (Police and Communities Together) meetings
Social media
TEXTPHONE and Typetalk.
Assistant Chief Constable Geoff Dodd, who is leading the consultation, said: “We want to obtain the views of as many people as possible to shape our service to meet the needs of local communities.
“It is also extremely important, especially in the current financial climate, that we are able to demonstrate value for money by investing in services that meet demand most efficiently.”
