Chief Superintendent Williams said: “This was a bit of fun and all in a good cause.

“We did it in our own time and made sure the uniforms weren’t ruined and although we are still collecting the money I know there has already been a lot of money coming in for charity.

“I would like to thank Asda for providing the ice that froze us all and PC Lisa McDonald who organised everything.

“We have now nominated the four other districts - Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield and Kirklees - so now’s the time to get wet!”
