Police force welcomes new officers

The officers have joined from forces across the UK and will soon be on the streets of York and North Yorkshire aiming to keep our communities safe.

They are currently undergoing an induction course at police headquarters in Newby Wiske before being deployed to their respective stations next week.

Temporary Chief Constable Tim Madgwick said: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome our new officers to the team. They join one of the highest performing forces in the country and will be working alongside some of the most dedicated and professional police officers and staff I have had the pleasure of working with.”

The new officers include two detectives – Detective Constables Wendy Dawson and Warren Peters. DC Dawson joins the force from Greater Manchester Police and will be based at Northallerton Protecting Vulnerable Persons Unit. DC Peters has transferred from Thames Valley Police and will work at Selby CID.
