Kent Specials Take a Stand Against Road Danger
Special Constables in Kent’s East Division have been relentless in their fight to make roads safer. Their latest sting happened in Folkestone on May 28, 2022.
Kent Police is committed to reducing deaths and serious injuries on our roads. We in the Special Constabulary are passionate about supporting our regular colleagues in this vital work,” said Special Inspector James Johnston.
Keeping Kent’s Roads Safe: Zero Tolerance for Offenders
Inspector Johnston added, “Our focus is on tackling the offences that cause the worst crashes – speeding, drunk or drugged driving, not wearing seatbelts, and using mobiles while driving. We also spot other serious law breaches threatening road safety.”
“We want to remind all drivers they have a duty to keep themselves and others safe. Break the rules, and we will act.”
