Cllr Cahal Burke with Police at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary Police room.
HOSPITAL staff and patients can report crimes in a new police room.
The contact point was opened in the accident and emergency department of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
Sgt Simon Short, of Huddersfield North Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Officers are regular visitors to the hospital so the idea of having a police room made perfect sense.
“The room will enable us to have more immediate contact with people visiting the hospital who may want to report crimes to the police.”
Lindley Lib Dem Clr Cahal Burke welcomed the contact point.
He said: “I have been supporting this project for a long time and I am pleased we have eventually secured the funding.
“This base will benefit all the users of the hospital and will be a key contact point for the residents of the Lindley area.”
