Hi, We are from Derbyshire Police’s Community Speedwatch, a scheme that enables groups of trained community volunteers to directly contribute to reducing the problem of speeding vehicles on local roads. Your community has an active scheme working in your area, but are now looking to attract more volunteers. Can you help? How does it work? Groups of trained volunteers carry out high visibility speed checks at approved locationsDetails of speeding vehicles are then forwarded to the CSW Team who verify the details and enter them onto a central databaseThe registered owner is then sent an advisory/warning letter notifying them that they have been recorded speeding and that their details will be held pending any further incidents of them exceeding the speed limitThis can include a personal visit by a Police Officer to deliver the letter dependent upon the circumstances.Benefits Deters incidence of speeding at the location and immediate area at the time of sessions taking placeEnables advisory/warning letters to be sent to those recorded as speedingProvides direct evidence of a speeding problem that can be utilised by police enforcement and other agenciesProvides an opportunity for local communities to take a direct and positive stand against speedingDue to it being volunteer lead, the scheme provides the clearest sign that the community is no longer willing to tolerate speedingDirectly contributes towards speeding becoming socially unacceptableIf you are interested in joining please contact us: admincsw@derbyshire.police.uk |
