OFFICIALS from a variety of international hot-spots have been discovering more about policing North Yorkshire-style.
They took part in a fortnight’s placement with the force as part of a 12-week course held by the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit at the University of York.
The visitors observed many policing activities and initiatives and were able to experience first hand the policing approach in North Yorkshire.
Of particular interest was the Safer Neighbourhoods team policing style and the way in which anti-social behaviour is dealt with by partnership working.
The international guests consisted of four police officers, Riza Shillova from Kosovo, Frederick Gbemie from Liberia, Habes Shrouf from the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Mohamed Ahmed Abaker Al-Daggo from Sudan and Nan Adikarilage Nimal Sarathsena, a captain in the Sri Lankan navy.
