Speedwatch Making Broadstone safer
In recent months there have
been references to Police Officers and others joining in with Community Speedwatch volunteers when the Speedwatch team is engaged in carrying out Speedwatch operations. To avoid any confusion please see an explanation below.
It is true that Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers and Police staff may join a Community Speedwatch team at the roadside, but the purpose of such attendance may differ:
1. Officers may join a Community Speedwatch team to supervise, provide training or just to offer moral support. In this case the Community Speedwatch team will operate as normal.
2. Police Officers will on occasion conduct their own speed enforcement from a Speedwatch site alongside the team using a hand held laser device. This is usually done as part of a wider policing operation aimed at raising awareness of speed and other traffic offences.
3. TruCam – this is an initiative launched by Dorset Road Safe with officers from Dorset Police joining Community Speedwatch volunteers to conduct joint sessions. These officers use a laser detector that is mounted on a tripod, which they alone will operate.
In categories 2 add 3 above, when Police Officers are operational, the Community Speedwatch team will be required to suspend their operation, but remain close by as required. A Community Speedwatch volunteer will continue to count the numbers of vehicles passing the location.
Community Speedwatch is a way to remind drivers of the need to drive within the speed limit set. The letters sent out as a result of Speedwatch monitoring are only advisory, however drivers need to understand that Speedwatch is supported by Dorset Police and that there may also be an occasion when a member of Police staff is present and enforcement will be carried out.
Needless to say, the supervision, training and support, provided by Dorset Police is greatly appreciated by Community Speedwatch volunteers.
Winter is nigh – check your lights, tyres, wiper blades, etc!
