- Mr Cook – Harrogate
The term “policing priority” is often used by North Yorkshire Police. Please could you explain how policing priority is determined, what the current priorities are, and the input from the Crime Commissioner’s office on that process ?

Hi Zoe In view of this poor internal audit on payroll – Can you clarify how much has been overpaid to staff/police in error? Are you confident these failings have all been addressed? Are you content key records are still being held on Exel? #nyscrutiny northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/content/upload
- Public concern raised with the Commissioner’s Office
The Commissioner’s Office has received concerns from residents that North Yorkshire Police has failed to investigate a wildlife crime regarding the poisoning of a Redkite in 2021. Could the commissioner ask North Yorkshire Police if they can provide a public response to this specific incident, thank you.

Is there a forward NYP strategy for utilising the Rural Watch groups county-wide. I believe they are very involved in locating stolen quad bikes and identifying rogue traders and those looking to steal from isolated farm buildings and yards?
