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 22/10/2019

A day of action has taken place in Goole and the surrounding area focusing on casualty reduction. Our officers focused on the "fatal 4" which 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. The latest operation took place on the 17th of October 2019. As a result of this operation 9x Traffic offence reports were completed, 2x vehicles issues defect rectification scheme notices, and one vehicle was stopped as officers  had intelligence that it had been involved in a series of make off without payments (Fuel thefts). Details were obtained and the officer dealing with those offences informed of the occupants details, which will result in follow up action.

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. The property has now been secured and reports of this issue have declined. The priority will be removed in the near future.
