We are backing a bid from Morley Neighbourhood Policing Team which will see a grant being awarded for extra bicycles to support front line staff. Morley NPT already do an excellent job and we have some of the lowest crime levels across the whole of West Yorkshire.
The idea behind providing the NPT with state of the art mountain bikes is to support then getting around their beats quicker. They can cover a greater area and meet more people including the vulnerable. It is a much better way to Police than getting officers to patrol in police cars where they don't have the same level of interaction with local residents.
The new bikes will be a good asset to the Police and I am sure residents will see them operating across the wider Morley area. We will always find the cash to support local Policing. It is one of our priorities and clearly a similar priority for the communities we represent.
More bobbies on bikes is a sure sign that we will continue to do all we can to have the biggest, most mobile and most effective policing team across the West Yorkshire area!
