Humberside Police

Humberside Police is the territorial police force responsible for policing the East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire in England. They are currently in the news due to their involvement in investigating two separate incidents. Firstly, they are investigating the deaths of a teenage couple at a holiday park near Bridlington, where suspected carbon monoxide poisoning is believed to be the cause. A man has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with this case. Secondly, while the collision itself was investigated by the MAIB, Humberside Police would have been involved in the initial response and potentially any subsequent investigations related to the fatal North Sea collision off the Yorkshire coast, where a Russian container ship captain has been jailed for manslaughter. These incidents highlight the diverse range of responsibilities Humberside Police undertake in ensuring public safety and investigating potential criminal activity within their jurisdiction.
