The role will involve engaging in activities aimed at casualty reduction and reducing the fear of road collisions and anti-social driving.

Key functions will include high visibility patrol, speed management, driver education activities, initial evidence gathering and problem solving with partners. The role will also support high profile events including the Epsom Derby.

Job description is dated December 2005. So has the happened yet or does it really take a year to get these things through?

idea How about MPSOs next? Pay them a quarter of the salary and no pension. They couldn't be any worse at running the country.

Great - more wages to be paid out of our taxes.

Why not give it to the HATOs? Why invent another service?

Or (God Forbid) go back to real coppers - worth the tax then

I think they mean when MR Smith and his 18 stone nephew are nicked in their white van, and they come over with a few lump hammers to discuss the situation with you.....

It is honestly getting to the stage now where I expect the SCP crews to get assaulted.
