York and North East Yorkshire Police

The York and North East Yorkshire Police was a police force in England from 1968 to 1974, covering the North Riding of Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire and the county borough of York. It was a merger of the two riding forces with the York City Police.[1]

The force area was broken up in 1974, and was split between the North Yorkshire Police, Humberside Police and Cleveland Constabulary.[2]

The Chief Constable from 1968 was Harold Hubert Salisbury, who left in 1972 to become Commissioner of Police in South Australia. [3]
