WHAT 3 WORDS. Another example of the benefits of this location tool. Around 8pm last night a young lady rolled her Mazda off the A19 at Thirsk. Due to the precarious position of her upturned car she was unable to get out and had no real idea where she was. No-one stopped, No-one reported it. She managed to ring her dad in Shrewsbury who talked her through the What Three Words App. Dad then rang our York Control Room, with the relevant words, who were able to pin point the collision. We kept a three way conversation with daughter, dad and control for the four minutes it took officers to get on scene. Driver released and luckily OK. We can not stress the importance and benefits of this location tool.
It's an e cellent resource.

🎥 This is how a 100mph pursuit on the A1(M) was brought to a safe conclusion yesterday👇
✅ Stinger deployed on the North Yorkshire/County Durham border
✅ Two in custody thanks to teamwork with Durham Constabulary and West Yorkshire Police
This BMW driver failed to stop for police yesterday afternoon and hightailed it up the A1(M) at speeds of over 100mph.
Assisting our colleagues at West Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Police, our traffic cops conducted a rolling roadblock to clear a section of motorway.
Waiting just over the Durham border, our officers executed this textbook stinger deployment to bring the BMW to a halt.
✅ 3 out of 4 tyres stung
✅ Vehicle stopped 2 miles later
✅ 2 arrested
✅ No injuries and no damage to any police vehicles
That's a job well done.
We're investigating a single-vehicle collision in Scarborough yesterday evening which left a man with serious injuries.

If you were in Ryedale today you may have spotted a police Ducati Panigale on patrol around Malton and Helmsley.👀🚨
It's a tidy bit of kit which we're borrowing from the good folks at BikeSafe, who have been loaned it by Ducati.
