It is safeguarding week.



Safeguarding means protecting children, young people, and vulnerable adults from harm, abuse, and exploitation.



What is a vulnerable adult?
A person aged 18 or over who may need care and support, and may be unable to protect themselves from harm, abuse, or exploitation.

Police work with partners to keep people safe—but we all have a role to play. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.



Safeguarding Tip:
✔️ Trust your instincts — if something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it



Report your concerns:
📞 Call 101 (non-emergency)
🚨 Call 999 in an emergency



Speak up. You could help protect someone.

Counter Terrorism Information

Community Safety Update

Protecting our communities is a shared responsibility.

In light of the current national threat level, we are encouraging everyone to stay informed and to know how to report concerns early. If you notice something that does not feel right, trust your instincts and report it.

You can find clear, practical guidance on what to look out for and how to act at the Counter Terrorism Policing website:



What You Can Do | Counter Terrorism Policing
https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/what-you-can-do/



The site includes information on:

• ACT Early reporting
• What to do in an emergency (Run, Hide, Tell)
• How to report concerns safely and confidentially



Early information from the public can help protect people and prevent harm.

If there is an immediate danger, always call 999.

Arrest made following early morning high speed pursuit
In the early hours of Friday 14 March 2025 a driver led North Yorkshire Police on a 100mph pursuit on the A1 before he was boxed in and arrested.

At 2.25am the Force Control Room received information from South Yorkshire Police about a BMW 5 series which was displaying suspected cloned plates. It had previously failed to stop earlier on in the night for officers in Doncaster and South Yorkshire colleagues had intelligence that the vehicle was mobile in North Yorkshire.

The Force Control Room used specialist ANPR technology to track the vehicle to Junction 47 of the A1(M) at Allerton Park.

Within minutes specialist operations officers were behind the vehicle and followed it south towards Junction 44. As it reached the A1 / M1 split the BMW then failed to stop. Officers engaged in a pursuit as the driver hit speeds of more than 100mph. As it headed towards Junction 42 the BMW’s front tyres started to deflate which reduced its speed. Officers used this opportunity to make tactical contact and boxed the vehicle in on the hard shoulder.

A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, fail to stop for police and driving whilst disqualified.

He currently remains in police custody

Traffic Constable Matt Harvey who was involved in the pursuit said: “Working closely with our colleagues in the Force Control Room we acted quickly and decisively to bring this pursuit to a stop to protect the public.

“I’m pleased to say that no members of the public or officers were injured and on this occasion it’s just a couple of minor scrapes to our patrol vehicles.

“Every night we remain committed to tackling serious and organised criminality within North Yorkshire. This incident shows that there are no borders, working collaboratively with our neighbouring forces we share information and resource to keep the public safe and take criminals off the streets”.
