Police officers on the beat
The commanders will join local officers on the streets
A team of senior overseas police officers will be patrolling the streets of North Yorkshire this week.

The officers are in the county to gain first-hand experience of British policing methods as part of an international commander's course.

The six men from Jordan, Syria, the Lebanon, Rwanda and St Kitts are studying at the National Police Training Centre at Bramshill, Hampshire.

The team will visit Richmond and Catterick before accompanying local officers in Harrogate.

Later in the week their tour will take them to York, Scarborough and the force headquarters at Newby Whiske.
