Community Speedwatch

Volunteers from local communities work alongside Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) to monitor speeding traffic in their areas.

The aim of Community Speed Watch is to monitor and record the speed and registration number of speeding vehicles travelling through communities in an attempt to improve driver behaviour, by encouraging drivers to slow down and thereby preventing collisions. The activity allows us to send letters of advice to the registered keeper of vehicles warning them of the driver's behaviour and dissatisfaction of the community through which the vehicle travelled.

How do I sign up?

To join please contact your local SNT or contact the Community Speed Watch team by email to AdminCSW@Derbyshire.Police.UK
