Derbyshire Constabulary  - Community Speed Watch 

On Friday 11 July, CSW schemes across the UK joined together in a coordinated day of action for the first time as part of the NPCC’s Op Spotlight which focuses on tackling the fatal four driving offences. 

Derbyshire CSW activity

We had an incredible 140 volunteers join in on the day working on what was an incredibly hot day. Some groups being supported by our Enforcement officers and SNT’s. 

• 42 Roadside sessions on the day
• 49 Volunteer hours spent on the roadside running sessions
• 13162 vehicles driving through our county’s sessions
• 645 vehicles recorded speeding
• 527 first letters
• 34 second letters
• 4 Hand delivered letters- 3 of these were high speeding vehicles. One vehicle driving at a ridiculous 70mph in a 30mph limit in Quarndon. A local MP joined the group on the day who ‘couldn’t believe what he was seeing’

Superintendent James Thompson, Operations Division

“We have nearly 900 Community Speedwatch Volunteers who give up thousands of hours of their time, helping to make the county’s roads safer. On behalf of Derbyshire Constabulary, I would like to thank you all for volunteering not only the All-out day but for each day you are out running CSW roadside sessions”

Thank you to all who supported our volunteers.
