About the force
West Yorkshire Police serve approximately 2.2 million people living in one of the five metropolitan districts of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. The physical area, of some 2000 square kilometres or 780 square miles, contains the West Yorkshire conurbation and a network of motorway and trunk roads which allow easy access to and from other population centres.
The area is policed by around 5,000 police officers and 3,600 support staff, including Police Community Support Officers. This makes the Force the fourth largest in the country.
