West Yorkshire Police Patnership Intelligence Portal (PIP)

What is the PiP?

West Yorkshire Police provide a central reporting system for practitioners and local businesses to access called the partnership intelligence portal.

Take a look at the presentation link here to find out how to create an account, understand more about the information you share and how it is used to gather intelligence. Reporting what may feel like insignificant information about potential perpetrators, a location hot spot or a child at risk, can keep a child safe from harm and abuse.
