OFFICERS have graduated from West Midlands Roads Policing School and are now ready to begin their roles as dedicated traffic officers helping to keep the roads and motorways of the region safe.
After completing an intensive specialist training programme, the officers are equipped with the skills needed to patrol the region’s road and motorway network, respond to serious collisions, tackle dangerous driving, and disrupt criminality.
Their arrival on the unit will help strengthen the forces commitment to making roads safer for everyone.
The officers were handed their white traffic caps by Supt Jack Hadley who heads up the unit.
Supt Hadley: “Congratulations to all eight officers on successfully completing their training.
“Our officers play a crucial part in keeping people safe whether it’s on our Road Crime Team, 24/7 team or the road harm reduction team. At the heart of it all is to make our roads safe for everyone to use.
“We are working hard alongside our partners to ensure our roads are safe for everyone.
“Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and for us to achieve Vision Zero goal – no more deaths or serious injuries on our roads by 2040 – we all have a vital part to play.”
