Life behind the wheel with our Road Crime Team

Описание: Boxing in drug dealers and pursuing dangerous drivers is all in a day’s work for our Road Crime Team.

The team spend their shifts hitting the roads on the lookout for wanted criminals, motorists breaking the law, or those moving money, weapons, and drugs through the county's 2,750 miles of road in search of an easy pay day or attempting to avoid being caught.

Tasked with different priorities every few weeks in different areas across the county - including knife crime, robberies, burglaries, disqualified and uninsured drivers, and car thefts - the team is constantly out looking for criminals using our roads to commit crime.

Chasing criminals and boxing them in on motorways is nothing out of the ordinary while they’re out on patrol in marked and unmarked cars and using their specialist advanced driver training.

The unit is made up of one sergeant and six PCs who not only police our roads but also help neighbouring forces and will often cross the borders on the hunt for criminals.

If a criminal is using the M1 to distribute drugs or is wanted for a crime - just because they drive out of Nottinghamshire doesn’t mean the team will give up.
