Police patrols worked to curb trouble
EAST YORKS: Targeted patrols are helping reduce violent crime in the East Riding, according to a senior police officer.
Speaking at an East Riding Council scrutiny committee, Chief Inspector Alan Farrow said violent crime in the C Division area had fallen by 16.7 per cent between April and December last year compared with 2011.
Over the same period, recorded cases of domestic violence in the division fell by 33 per cent.
Chief Inspector Farrow said: "These significant reductions are good news for victims of crime."

The police officer said increased use of targeted patrols in known troublespots over the recent festive season had also delivered encouraging results.
"There were assaults and there were fights but the feeling is we had a good festive period overall with no significant issues.
"That was down to targeted policing supported by the licensees and the council. Even now we are already planning for this Christmas."

“I will always support more police and PCSO's on the streets - wherever they are, it's good to see them, thanks to all decent coppers and PCSOs for what you do for us (with your hands tied behind your back).”
