Volunteer for Sandy Speed Watch!

Date Added: 21/07/2022

Calling Sandy residents. Do you want safer roads in Sandy? Are you worried about speeding in the town? Help your community by volunteering today to create a new Sandy Speed Watch group!


Community Speed Watch is a scheme which enables volunteers to work within their community to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding and help control the problem locally. Volunteers undertake sessions where they record the details of any vehicles exceeding the speed limit and send the results to the police. The registered keeper of the vehicle is then sent a letter informing them that the vehicle was detected exceeding the speed limit, giving the location, date and time. Persistent speeders receive a second letter and on a third occasion, they can expect further action to be taken by the police.


Volunteers are provided with training and equipment by Bedfordshire Police, and the police control room should be notified of any Speed Watch sessions taking place. Training can be arranged at various locations around the county and consists of two modules lasting a maximum of two hours. Training covers the use of the equipment, conflict resolution and, optionally, basic first aid.


Bedfordshire Police are looking for at least four volunteers from the local community to come forward in order to re-establish a Sandy Community Speed Watch group. Anyone who would like to volunteer can register their interest by emailing Bedfordshire Police at: [email protected]
