Volunteer for Fleet Speed Watch

Police forces are making more use of police support volunteers. The Speed Watch group in Fleet is organised by the police and supported by Fleet Town Council and are currently looking for volunteers in this area.

Speed Watch aims to remind to drivers of the speed limits by sending small teams of volunteers to work at the side of the road, recording the details of passing vehicles that are speeding. Each volunteer might take part in 2 one-hour sessions each month. Teams use a device that displays in large numbers the speeds of passing vehicles.

When a passing vehicle is traveling above a certain speed, the volunteers record its details and pass them onto the police who will get in touch with the vehicle’s Registered Keeper – but it’s for education only; no tickets, points, or fines.

• Volunteers must be 17+, have reasonable eyesight and be able to stand for an hour
• Being able to recognise vehicle makes models is helpful but not essential
• Full training and equipment will be provided
