West Yorkshire's Chief Constable has admitted the force is "letting some people down" as new figures show the number of criminal charges being brought in England and Wales has been falling - despite more crimes being recorded in the same period.
BBC analysis of Home Office data for Panorama shows 527,000 charges were brought in 2016-17 - a fall of 65,000 on 2014-15. Meanwhile, the number of crimes recorded rose by nearly 750,000.
Police say a squeeze on resources is making crime harder to investigate, with West Yorkshire Police's Chief Constable Dee Collins saying things are stretched.
"My officers and staff, I think do a fantastic job with the resource that we have, but I realise that we are letting some people down," she said.
"Since 2010 we've had a 35% real-term cut and what that has meant in terms of officers and staff numbers is I have 1,400 fewer people."
The Home Office says it is working with police to find a solution.
