Operational Services
Road Policing Team
The main aims of the Road Policing Team include the reduction of casualties and denying criminals the use of the roads.
In doing so, supporting Staffordshire police to provide the highest levels of confidence in the delivery of policing, making the communities of Staffordshire feel safe and reassured.
All members of the team are highly qualified advanced drivers and motorcyclists.
We have the ability to deploy in both a covert and overt manner to police the strategic road networks within the County.
We will:
- Patrol the roads
- Promote road safety
- Enforce the law
In addition we will, in partnership, support Local Policing Teams and other departments to achieve policing objectives:
- Provide safe escort to travelling supporters at sporting events.
- Assist with VIP visits to the County.
- Support major policing events such as the V Festival.
- Ensure safe transportation of abnormal loads through the County.
- Plan and implement multi agency operations.
