There are currently 75 groups across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire, police say.
People worried about drivers going too fast in their area have been asked to consider volunteering for speed watch schemes.
The force said there were now 75 local groups across its patch including in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Worcestershire. Where speeds are "found to be inappropriate" police officers send a letter to the registered owner of the vehicle to encourage them to reduce their speed, the force said.The schemes were introduced to address community concerns in areas which did not meet speed or crash criteria for police-led enforcement, it added.The schemes can be introduced if certain criteria were already in place, including that the area had a 30mph or 40mph speed restriction, police said.
