Query raised

Response from North Yorkshire Police

Request for information highlighting NYP spend on EDI.

There are eight equality, diversity and inclusion-related roles within North Yorkshire Police, filled by seven police officers and one member of police staff. We have excluded the role of Talent and Diversity Lead as this is predominantly a North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (NYFRS) role. The 2024/25 budget for the above posts is £669,186.

Clarity requested on number of 101 calls abandoned.

For 1^st March 2024 to 28^th Feb 2025, 101 only.
