Talk:West Yorkshire Constabulary

Red Riding Trilogy
I have removed the reference to West Yorkshire Constabulary being shown in a negative light in the Red Riding trilogy as it was in fact the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police which was formed in 1974 and is referred to as such throughout the programme.

Bill Hedley (John Henshaw) remarking to Eddie Dunford (Andrew Garfield) that they (the Yorkshire Post) have formed a good relationship with the "newly amalgamated police force" and the same force covers Leeds and Wakefield.

West Yorkshire Constabulary did not cover the Leeds or Bradford city areas as they had their own police forces until 1974 when they (Leeds City Police and Bradford City Police) merged with West Yorkshire Constabulary to form West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police. BNC85 (talk) 04:33, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
