Hide AdPC Richard Shaw of Castleford’s Neighbourhood Policing team said: "We have recognised that more support was needed for retailers in the area of Airedale to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime.
"We hope that by working in partnership with local businesses, it will lead to a reduction in these types of crimes.
