STAFF with the North Yorkshire police force have been demonstrating their prowess with the camera.
The force's first in-house photography competition proved to be a runaway success and is now expected to become an annual event.
The organisers were swamped with entries for the contest, sponsored by Jessops and SupaSnaps of Ripon.
And The Northern Echo's award-winning North Yorkshire photographer Richard Doughty joined Jessops' Graeme Kitching for the judging at the final.
Prizes were awarded to Dot Mallaby, a control room operator at York, for her study of an African woman and child; David Wright, an information technology trainer at the force headquarters in Newby Wiske, for an evocative landscape featuring an ancient cross on the North York Moors and John Allen, a traffic warden based at Harrogate, with his study of a father and child.
