West Yorkshire Police (WYP) is standing shoulder to shoulder with West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) in a commitment to stopping attacks on firefighters and taking every action possible to catch those responsible.
During November, police had already begun trialling training days with firefighters on recognising the signs of public order and how to defuse potentially volatile situations.
This follows Bonfire Night 2017 which saw 16 recorded attacks on fire crews across West Yorkshire as they tried to keep people and property safe.
Yesterday, 13 December, Chief Police Officers have furthered their support in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WYFRS Chief Fire Officers to ensure the two blue light services are working as efficiently as possible together to crackdown on perpetrators.
