North Yorkshire Police Chief Constable to be quizzed on tackling cyber crime
There will be an online meeting next week
North Yorkshire Police's Chief Constable will be scrutinised and held to account on behalf of the public's concerned next week.
The county's Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Zoë Metcalfe, will host an online meeting focussed on the force's approach to tackling cyber crime and a review of the work already undertaken.
Residents of York and North Yorkshire are invited to join the online public meeting which will include allotted time for the Commissioner to ask questions sent in by the public.

Questions relating to cyber crime are encouraged but questions for any area of the police service are welcome and should be submitted using the online form on the Commissioners' website.
The purpose of these regular online public meetings is to hold the Chief Constable to account for their delivery of the Commissioner’s Police and crime Plan, to ensure the service is achieving its objectives and generating positive outcomes in the interests of the public.
Commissioner Zoë says:
"My online public meetings offer updates for the public in areas of concern, whilst providing full transparency on how I act as Commissioner to ensure North Yorkshire Police is delivering what they should to keep residents of York and North Yorkshire safe and feeling safe.
"It is within my role to be the voice of communities and an advocate for the people of York and North Yorkshire when challenging areas of policing. To do this, I need to hear from members of the public and so if you are a resident in our county, please send me your questions and tune in to watch them being answered. This is your police service, which needs your say.”
