According to analysis, it has mostly been men calling to women and girls from the side of the street in their cars.
Alongside seizing vehicles and handing out fines, officers have also prodded active bystander training.
Around 600 people have benefited from the advice which encourages individuals to “actively intervene when they witness an incident”.
Ch Insp Beth Pagnillo said: “I hope that by calling out this behaviour it shows that we are taking the issue seriously and makes men think twice about making these types of comments.”
Bradford City Council has a Public Space Protection Order in pace which specifically prohibits a range of anti-social behaviour.
They warn that “Shouting, swearing at, or abusing, threatening or intimidating another person – including using sexual language or making sexual suggestions from a vehicle” is not allowed.
Anyone breaking the rules will be slapped with a hefty £1,000 fine or a Fixed Penalty Notice.
Safer Bradford claimed many women “feel scared and intimidated” with some already being “forced” to look onto different running routes.
They commented: “We know that harassment is a widespread concern across the district.
“Most runners have accepted it as the norm and not reported it to the police, as they didn’t feel it would be taken seriously.
“But we want people to report these incidents. We will listen and we will act.”
A spokesperson for Bradford City Council said: “It is clear from officers talking to offenders, that many think shouting out of vehicles and pipping horns is not harassment.
“In fact, one of the males who was stopped even stated he was ‘encouraging the females to run’.”
