Operation SNAP!
We want to make sure our roads are as safe as possible for all users. That's why we have Operation Snap (Op Snap) - and we need your help. If you see anyone committing driving offences on our roads and it's captured on your dashcam, CCTV or a mobile phone by a passenger, we want you to send it in to us. Offences might include: dangerous driving using a mobile phone while driving not wearing a seatbelt failing to stop at a red traffic light using a trailer in lane three of a motorway crossing solid white lines other offences where a driver is clearly not in proper control of a vehicle Every piece of footage sent to Op Snap is reviewed by specially-trained staff. If an offence is identified, the driver can be prosecuted or told to take a driver improvement course.
Criteria for investigationIn order for us to investigate any footage of incidents submitted by the public, it must meet certain criteria: Your report must be submitted within seven days of the alleged offence to allow us time to investigate. For certain offences, by law; we can only serve a notice of intended prosecution to a registered keeper or owner of a motor vehicle within 14 days of an alleged offence. Mobile phones are not subject to the 14-day requirement The footage should include the whole incident, and, wherever possible, one minute prior to and after the offence. The footage should not be any longer than 10 minutes in duration. If you are reporting an incident that involves a collision, please do not use this service. Instead, please call West Midlands Police on 101, select option 1 and provide details within 24 hours of the collision taking place. Along with the footage, you would need to provide the following information: Date and time of incident Location of incident Registration of vehicle Make and colour of vehicle Footage of the offence taking place Details of what happened and how you were involved You’ll also need to complete a statement and upload that with your footage. You will need to provide an email address when completing our online form so an officer can contact you if there is any missing information or further information required. Regretfully, we will be unable to respond to every submission due to the volume we receive. Each submission is assessed by an officer and dealt with accordingly by way of educational letters, courses, penalty points and/or fine and court attendance.
