Sussex Alerts - Community Speed Watch

Community Speed Watch needs your help

Help reduce deaths and injury on the roads of your towns and villages.

Community Speedwatch is looking for volunteers to help join a local Community Scheme in your area.

This is a vital role in helping to reduce anti-social driving and helping to prevent death and injury on our roads, and full training will be given for this voluntary role by Sussex Police.

Community Speedwatch (CSW) is a national initiative where active members of local communities join with the support of the Police to monitor speeds of vehicles using speed detection devices. 

Vehicles exceeding the speed limit are referred to the Police with the aim of educating drivers to reduce their speeds. 

In cases where education is blatantly ignored and evidence of repeat or excessive offences is collated (even across county borders), enforcement and prosecution can follow.
