We don't know if they managed to catch any criminals, but I bet a few tips and tricks were shared as they patrolled the beat!
Ged has had a varied career with the force from general police to firearms support. The nice thing is that Ryan will be taking his dad's collar number.

Charlotte Rose
BBC Radio Sheffield Political Reporter
The Leader of the House of Commons has dismissed suggestions that MPs could be based in Yorkshire while the Palace of Westminster is repaired.

A new scheme which aims to tackle criminal and terrorist activity in crowded places, and at major events like the Tour de Yorkshire, has been launched by North Yorkshire Police.

It's called 'Project Servator', and involves the use of both visible and covert officers, as well as dogs, firearms teams , ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and CCTV cameras in busy town centres and at large events.
NYP have revealed there were deployments at a number locations around York city centre today, as well as at the Designer Outlet, over a period of 3 hours.
Quote Message:
The aim of Project Servator is to combine effective police deployments with increased levels of vigilance within our communities, to deter, detect and ultimately disrupt a broad spectrum of criminality, everything from pick-pocketing to terrorism. These tactics are not in response to a specific threat or the recent tragic events in Westminster, but have been in the planning stages since September 2016."
