Attached to Blocks are Rural and Unit Beat Constables. These Constables have specific responsibilities for specific areas and work a shift system to suit the various requirements of their area. Crime Car Staff Officers operate in unmarked high performance vehicles. It is their job to deal with high-risk situations and demands much of their training and skill. Staff are highly trained and often deployed as a first response by control room staff in vehicle pursuit situations or where there is evidence that an offender is thought to be of a violent nature.
Staff also have at their disposal, public order equipment, for incidents of public disturbances.
These units are equipped with unmarked cars that have concealed lights and signs. The role of the Officers in this department is to deal with all the fatal incidents that occur on the Division's roads, and to provide immediate response to many of the serious incidents, which occur on the roads. The Officers provide the specialist knowledge and support in the field on traffic policing that is required to enable each and every Officer within the Division to take an active role in achieving the Force objective of reducing fatal and serious injury road traffic accidents. This unit will also be involved with such activities escorting visiting VIPs as well as safeguarding the more frequent abnormal load movements around the area. The Traffic Management Officers analyse the accident data and disseminate this throughout the Division.
