North Yorkshire HMICFRS snapshot
Most recent PEEL inspection: 2025-27 PEEL assessment
North Yorkshire Police was assessed across nine areas of policing in the 2025-27 PEEL inspection. The force performed well in leadership, workforce development, use of powers, prevention, safeguarding and fraud, all graded good.

- Workforce: good
- Leadership: good
- Police powers: good
- Managing fraud: good
- Preventing crime: good
- Investigating crime: adequate
- Responding to public: adequate
- Protecting vulnerable: good
Areas for improvement
- The force needs to reduce the number of non-emergency calls that callers abandon because they aren't answered.
- The force should improve the management and supervision of 'priority 12' incidents.
- The force needs to make sure it complies with the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime.
- The force should make sure officers and staff use the new facility to record the justification for use of force.
- The force should make sure it records all crimes committed against vulnerable victims correctly.
- The force should have effective governance and quality assurance processes to manage the safety and well-being of detainees.

What this means for your board
A promotion board at North Yorkshire isn’t only assessing whether you can lead a team. It’s assessing whether you understand the force you’re asking to lead in, and where your leadership fits its priorities. Officers who connect their examples to what North Yorkshire is actually focused on stand out. Officers who stay inside their own team don’t.
You don’t do this by quoting the inspection report. You do it by letting your force’s priorities shape the decisions in your answers. If you want the full method, read our guide on what HMICFRS grades mean for your promotion board.
