Sergeant Hinds: ‘We’re Here to Keep Roads Safe’
“Our motivation for these anti-speeding operations isn’t to ruin anybody’s day, we just want to improve safety on our roads,” said Sergeant Jordan Hinds of Nottinghamshire Police.
“Local people told us speeding was their top concern, so it’s a priority for our team. These action days are designed to put a stop to reckless driving.”
“We had lots of positive feedback from residents who appreciated our presence. They’ve asked us to keep coming back, and we will, because keeping people safe is what matters most.”
