be paid for!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPE is incredibly bureaucratic (aka<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0expensive) and it is no coincidence that <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Councils that have taken on this enforcement role find themselves having to charge for car park<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">ing in their off

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So, what is being done instead?\u00a0 A new Police role with Police powers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The District Council approached the Police last year about this issue and discussed the idea of using a little known piece of legislation, Section 38 of the Police and Crime Act 2017.\u00a0 S38 allows the Police to bestow Police legal powers onto civilians working in a voluntary capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Superintendent James Sutherland of the Cambridgeshire Constabulary has been working on development of a new role &#8211; <strong>Road Safety Police Volunteer<\/strong> &#8211; that will not only be able to carry out car parking enforcement but will also have a wider remit for road safety including speeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Road Safety Police Volunteers are akin to those working as Special Constables<\/strong> which have a long and successful history in the UK, including in Cambridgeshire.\u00a0 <strong>They will be uniformed, including with body armour and headwear and will carry body cameras and Police radios and have access to unmarked Police vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as capturing evidence of speeding and car parking abuse that will lead to fines, the role will also include an education remit \u2013 talking to motorists at the school gates for example.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Road Safety Police Volunteers, unlike Community Speedwatch volunteers, will have the necessary latest generation equipment that will lead to fines for speeding.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the compelling and passionate presentation by Superintendent James Sutherland to the Council meeting in October 2022 here\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ckROctZlum0?t=1340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ckROctZlum0?t=1340<\/a>\u00a0which outlines the proposal for the new role.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using S38 is a proportionate response to the relatively small number of people that abuse car parking laws in various hotspots in East Cambs.<strong>\u00a0 The new Road Safety Police Volunteers will have a wider, very important role, in dealing with road safety and speeding as well as illegal and dangerous parking and we will be able to keep free parking in our town and city centre car parks \u2013 there is still a way to go before this can happen, but we think it is a great way to go!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like
