Eventful couple of days at the PTC, with visits this morning from GMP's Police and Crime Commissioner, Tony Lloyd, followed by the Policing Minister, Mike Penning. Thank you for coming to see us and supporting what we do.
Policing Minister Mike Penning today visited the Police Treatment Centre in Harrogate, where he toured the facilities and met officers whose lives have been rebuilt by the work of the centre.
The Harrogate centre recently benefited from a Government grant of £500,000, part of £2m allocated to enhance existing Police and Fire Service Treatment and Rehabilitation Centres so ambulance and search and rescue personnel can also benefit from the facilities.
Policing Minister Mike Penning said:
“Police officers protect our communities at all times and regularly put their lives at risk in the line of duty.
I am so pleased to see first-hand the excellent facilities available at the Police Treatment Centre in Harrogate and I am delighted that the Government has provided the centre with £500,000 to develop and enhance its essential work.
The treatment available here has a transformative effect on officers’ lives and helps them and their families through physical injury, mental health illness and bereavement so they can continue the vital work they do.”

Also visiting the Harrogate Centre today was GMP’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Tony Lloyd who was impressed with the services and facilities he saw in operation.
Tony Lloyd comments;
"
The PTC is an excellent facility offering the very best care for serving officers and importantly letting those officers get back to work in order to servce the british public, that is the real public test."
