“This review makes for shocking reading and exposes vile behaviour and attitudes that undermine the work of policing across the country - including here in West Yorkshire.
“We share Louise Casey’s ambition to protect women and girls from harm and want to work with her to identify how to achieve that in our region and beyond.
“There should be zero tolerance for violence against women and girls and my message to anybody affected is to come forward and report it - because you will be heard.”

"Every single life lost to knife crime is one too many."
The West Yorkshire Mayor will position skills and the economy as key priorities over her next four years of office, with plans to bring more well-paid jobs to the region.
