York and North East Yorkshire Police

Last updated

The York and North East Yorkshire Police was a police force in England from 1968 to 1974, covering the North Riding of Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the county borough of York. It was a merger of the two riding forces (the North Riding of Yorkshire Constabulary and the East Riding of Yorkshire Constabulary) with the York City Police. [1]

The force area was broken up in 1974 and was split between the North Yorkshire Police, Humberside Police, Durham Constabulary and Cleveland Constabulary. [2]

The first Chief Constable from 1968 was Harold Hubert Salisbury, previously the Chief Constable of the North Riding of Yorkshire Constabulary. [3] Salisbury left in 1972 to become Commissioner of Police in South Australia. [4] [5] He was succeeded by Robert Boyes. [6]
