Humberside Police - protecting communities, targeting criminals

Roads Policing

Humberside Police is determined to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and crimes on our roads.

We aim to do this through:

  • Driver education schemes,
  • Speed enforcement.
  • Various road safety initiatives.
  • The effective policing of road incidents.

We are responsible for policing the roads of the Humberside Policing area which includes parts of the M1, M62, M18 and M180 motorways.

The Roads Policing teams aim to carry out a high quality of service to both public and colleagues alike. We carry out a vital service in policing the strategic road network, while detecting crime and disrupting the criminal activity on our roads.

Roads Policing officers

Our officers work alongside many other agencies, including:

  • The Government's vehicle inspectorate, who make sure that all vehicles using our roads are mechanically-sound and environmentally-friendly. They prevent overweight vehicles from damaging our roads and dangerously overloading vehicles beyond their weight limits.
  • Customs and Excise officers, who pursue illegal imports such as drugs and the illegal use of duty free fuels.
  • Regional Roads Crime Team

For more information on how we police the roads and how you as a driver or road user can make our roads safer, visit our Driving safely section.

Policing Yorkshire and the Humber - Regional Roads Crime Team

The Regional Roads Crime Team is the first operational team created by joint collaboration between the four forces of Yorkshire and the Humber.

The team was set up with a clear strategic vision to create a hostile environment for criminals that use the road network and cause significant disruption to their illegal business enterprises, from drugs to high value vehicle theft, to people trafficking. It is committed to supplying additional capability to the four police forces of the region wherever needed across the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber.
