Humberside Police is the Home Office Police Force responsible for policing Humberside in England . The Chief Constable is Tim Hollis . It was created in 1974 as a merger of other forces under the Local Government Act 1972 , along with the county of Humberside. It was a successor to the Hull City Police , and part of the areas of the York And North East Yorkshire Police , the old Lincolnshire Constabulary and the West Yorkshire Constabulary . Since the abolition of Humberside in 1996, the local authority members of the Police Authority are now appointed by a joint committee of the East Riding Of Yorkshire , Kingston Upon Hull , North Lincolnshire , and North East Lincolnshire . The Police Authority shot to the national headlines in mid 2004 when it refused to sack Chief Constable blaming in part failings in Humberside Police. It returned to the headlines in 2005 when Colin Inglis , its chairman at the time of the crisis appeared in court charged with indecent assault. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4436340.stm Proposals made by the Home Secretary on March 21 , 2006 would see the force merge with North Yorkshire Police , South Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Police to form a strategic police force for the entire region. {Link without Title} POLICE VIDEO ProViDa is the standard in-car video unit used; the new 1997 Jai/ProViDa is also used too.
