Can you help stop speeding drivers?
Can you help? We’re seeking more volunteers to help keep roads safer across the county.
Community Speedwatch are looking for new members to help them to monitor vehicle speeds in the area and log the details of those caught speeding.
The scheme involves speed checks in local neighbourhoods, with motorists caught speeding given an advisory letter by us as a force explaining the dangers of their actions.
In 2024 the Constabulary’s Speedwatch volunteers identified more than 21,000 vehicles going too fast, and sent out 9,495 letters to speeding drivers asking them to consider their attitude to speeding through villages.
Julie Clark, Forcewide Watch Co-ordinator, said: “Being part of the Community Speedwatch national initiative is very rewarding, knowing that you will be helping us to make the roads safer.
“These schemes are a really important part of our road safety work and those involved make a genuine difference. If you are interested in volunteering, please do get in touch.”
Volunteers will receive full training, equipment and insurance, as well as flexibility – as checks can be carried out at their convenience. To find out more about volunteering or to enquire about setting up a scheme in your area, please email ku.ecilop.sbmac@hctawdeeps
