Over the next few months the new logo will appear on notices at police stations, on police cars, the force's website and correspondence.

Chief Constable Bill Skelly said it would be a gradual introduction and take six months to change the badges on the police cars which would be done as they are brought in for service or refurbishment.

Mr Skelly also said that notices at the police stations will be changed as they are produced.

The helmet and cap badges and the badge on the force's flag will remain as below:

The Chief Constable, Bill Skelly, says the fresh design is needed "for a forward-looking force".

He says the initial cost is just in the hundreds of pounds as the design work was produced in-house by their Graphics and Publication Department.

Thomas Scoffin, 31 from Park Avenue in Leeds was the sole director of Leeds-based Excel Servicing was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

His mother Linda Scoffin, 61 from Hall Drive in Lincoln who helped him run the business, was sentenced to three years.
