Humberside Police
There are plenty of opportunities for your to meet your local officers and talk to them about problems you're worried about. You can pop along to Police Surgeries, which are informal drop-in sessions at well visited places in the community. It's a chance to meet your local officers, tell them about crime and antisocial behaviour in your area and obtain crime prevention advice.
Your Wolds police team attend the local Parish Council meetings when shift patterns allow and will be happy to report on recent crimes and take any questions or concerns that you may have.

Operation Shield - is BACK!
As part of our efforts to tackle criminality across our area, Operation Shield is back for another intensification period this March.
Our force-wide proactive initiative has today (Monday 3 March) relaunched to continue the focus on clamping down on crime in hotspot locations with the aim of identifying and targeting the most harmful criminals who prey on our communities.
Over the next four weeks, officers across our force area will be ramping up their work to detect criminals involved in a range of crimes, reduce serious acquisitive crime and antisocial behaviour, increase visibility in hotspot areas, disrupt and dismantle organised crime groups, reduce criminality on the roads, and protect the most vulnerable victims in our communities by targeting high-harm offenders and perpetrators of domestic abuse.
“Is this not just officers doing their jobs?”, we hear you ask. Yes, it absolutely is! All this work remains daily business for our officers, but utilising Operation Shield gives us an opportunity to intensify and shine a light on all the work staff and officers do across a multitude of departments and specialisms, 24/7, 365.
Across the Humberside region, the team will be carrying out warrants to proactively seek and arrest criminals. They will also be seizing illegal items, including drugs and weapons with the aim of disrupting, and dismantling organised crime groups that have links to violent crime, county lines and drug related offences.
Leading the operation this March is Assistant Chief Constable Mike Walker, who said: “I am pleased to say that Operation Shield is recommencing to support our relentless pursuit of criminals who think they can commit crime in our force area and get away with it.
“Last year saw the successful launch of Operation Shield with more than 900 arrests, and nearly 300 people charged. This month-long intensification period is a continuation of this, developing the previous work done by our officers.
“There will be a strong focus not only on enforcing the law, but also on the preventative work that the force is taking part in across a variety of dedicated operations.
“The Operation Shield team has expanded further, and we now have even more resources available to them. Our dedicated teams will be working tirelessly to tackle a wide range of criminality, alongside not only each other but also multi-agency partners.
“Having listened to what the public have been telling us, we will be enforcing bespoke operations that relate to the specific issues within local areas including Kinetic, Operation Yellowfin and Yokohama, Clear, Hold, Build, and more.
“We have already seen the impact that Operation Shield has had, not only for those who live in the area but also those who visit and work across it, and we are excited to bring it back for another intensification period.
“As part of the operation, our local communities can expect an increased policing presence from both uniformed and plain clothed officers, particularly in areas that have high crime rates and where antisocial behaviour is prevalent.
“We will always do everything that we possibly can to put those who have committed crime in Humberside before the courts, to make sure that our residents feel safe, and that justice is achieved for any victim of crime.”
We would always encourage you to report any offences to us so we can build the bigger picture and take appropriate action.

Operation SNAP
Operation Snap is a secure online platform that allows you to submit video evidence of driving offences that you or other members of the public have witnessed. Its purpose is to improve road safety and to prosecute those that place others at risk. The service has been produced with the support of the Department for Transport.
The online service allows us to effectively deal with the footage recorded by members of the public in a safe and secure way, whilst making the investigation process simple and straightforward. We have a determined and robust approach to policing the roads and we’ll take every opportunity to make them safer for everyone.
This portal can only be used for driving offences, it is not for submitting footage of Road Traffic Collisions or public order offences, and is not for reporting crime.
What you can report
The Operation Snap online form is for traffic offences only. It is not for submitting footage of road traffic collisions or any other offences.
The offences that we can investigate through Operation Snap include:
- dangerous driving
- driving without due care and attention
- careless driving
- using a mobile phone handheld whilst driving
- not wearing a seat belt
- ignoring a red traffic light
- disregarding solid white lines
- close passes of cyclists
- Zigzag lines (outside school)
- Zigzag lines (pedestrian crossing)
It’s easy for people to engage in Operation Snap and processes have been designed to run smoothly. Operation Snap is not asking you to go out and detect offences for us, but we will deal with any you find.
Operation Snap has one desired outcome: making our roads safer.
For other crime reporting methods, please see our main report it page.
In an emergency always dial 999 where there is a threat to life or a crime in progress, for non-emergencies dial 101.
Operation Yellowfin
Humberside Police are continuing to drive the Op Yellowfin campaign which aims to target those using motorbikes to commit crime and those who pose danger to the community. You can play your part in reducing bike crime in your community too by reporting concerns to the police to build a picture of times, days and locations so we can focus our resourcing when and where it is needed. You can report it anonymously or to Crimestoppers.
