Casualty Reduction Operation - Roads Policing

Roads Policing Officers have been in Goole working on a casualty reduction operation.  Several drivers have been dealt with for an array of offences including insecure loads, seatbelt, insurance, number plate and license offences.  A driver was also given a warning under the Police Reform Act 2002 for using a vehicle in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance.  Roads Policing are part of our policing family dedicated to keeping you safer on our roads.

Update 

A day of action has taken place in Goole focusing on the "fatal 4" offences. The "fatal 4" are considered the four biggest dangers whilst driving and have contributed to the 165,100 road casualties in the UK in 2018. These offences are inappropriate speed, using a mobile phone while driving, not wearing a seat belt and drink driving. As a result of this operation several traffics offences have been dealt via traffic offence reports. These reports will result in sanctions from fines to court appearances. A total of 3 vehicles were seized and a number of drugs searches and breath tests completed. #Fatal4 #Drinkdriving #Speeding #Drugs #Humbertalking #Yousaidwedid

Intelligence suggests that groups of young people attending the location to hang out, take drugs and riding up and down on motorbikes in an anti-social manner. This can occur at any time of the day and night. This is intimidating to residents that live in the area but the main issue is the safety concern to the young people attending the area.

Update 

On the back of a multi-agency meeting and site visit, future intervention will include continued visible Police presence, ideally double crewed, to consider stop/search, target any possible drugs offences, deal with any ASB issues and consider any safeguarding issues. Officers will engage with the young people, consider signposting to local youth provision and inform parents utilising the ERYC Operation Fairway process. The Neighbourhood Beat Manager will liaise with patrol officers for joint targeted patrols to cover all exit points and local councillors are to canvas residents for reassurance.
