    West Yorkshire Police leaders say demands are ‘increasingly difficult to meet’

    Leaders of West Yorkshire Police (WYP) have said that it is “increasingly difficult” to meet demands.

    Residents of West Yorkshire now total 493 for every police officer, a rise of 30% in the past ten years.

    WYP Chief Constable Dee Collins and Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson said today, 23 June, that this and other factors “were generating huge demands, which it was increasingly difficult to meet”.

    Since 2006, the number of citizens per officer has risen from 379 to 493, which is above the national average of 467.

    This is due to both an increase of 6% in the overall population and a 19% decrease in officers, down from 5,687 in 2006 to 4,624 in 2016.
