Across North Yorkshire there are six Safer Neighbourhood Commands with 24/7 responsibility for policing their areas, each led by a Safer Neighbourhood Commander.
Underneath the Commands are 18 Safer Neighbourhood Areas, each led by an Inspector. The Areas are further broken down into 44 Sergeant-led Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
