A brilliant result across the board for St George's Academy
Today sees the launch of our Roads Policing Unit , a dedicated team of officers who will proactively patrol the roads of Lincolnshire.
Through the Police Uplift Programme, we have established a Roads Policing Unit comprising of two Sergeants and 18 Constables, based at two locations in Lincolnshire. This will give the RPU a footprint across the county and vastly improve police visibility on our roads. The first officers on the team started at Grantham in January 2022 and today sees the opening of our second base at Louth.
All the RPU officers will be trained to advanced driving standards, be trained in tactical pursuits and containment , specialist traffic law, including HGVs, prohibition of vehicles and, the carriage of dangerous goods. Some of the officers already bring years of experience in road traffic legislation, and the additional training will enable everyone in the team to effectively tackle issues that cause harm on our roads.
Over 300 traffic offence reports for motoring offences mainly concentrating on the fatal four offences . In Lincolnshire, we also have seasonal issues with motorcyclists and increased volumes at certain times of the year. Criminals continue to abuse the road networks to aid their activity, including hare coursing and offences that affect our rural communities.
The Safer Roads Team, made up of Special Constables, will now become part of the Roads Policing Unit. The team, formed in May 2018, have worked to combat the Fatal-four offences of drink and drug driving, mobile phone use, speeding and seatbelt use. They receive enhanced training in roads policing duties and driving. Their experience and dedication will bring more capacity to the team, and working alongside their full-time colleagues, they will increase the capability of the unit.
