Abstract

Recommendations taken from Pepper, M. and Bullock, K. (2024) Safer roads through citizen partnerships: Enhancing road safety with Community Speedwatch volunteers – a study conducted by the University of Greenwich and University of Surrey exploring the motivations, contributions, and experiences of Community Speedwatch volunteers in Surrey and Sussex constabularies. The study was funded by the Road Safety Trust Small Grants Programme. This research demonstrates the contribution that CSW volunteers make and highlights opportunities for the police service to benefit further from the skills and resources they bring by embedding them as part of the fabric of road safety approaches. Community Speedwatch (CSW) is a national scheme in which citizen volunteers receive training and equipment from their local police service to monitor and record details of speeding vehicles using approved detection devices. This report presents findings from a research project exploring the motivations, contributions, and experiences of CSW volunteers in Surrey and Sussex Constabularies – two police force areas in the south of England, UK. The research incorporated a mixed methods approach including an online survey and focus groups with CSW volunteers, interviews with road safety professionals, observations of CSW shifts, and workshops facilitated during a project conference. The project was funded by the Road Safety Trust Small Grants Programme, forming part of their aim to improve road safety at a local level.
