The next webinar for Road Safety GB members will discuss how digital evidence submissions from the public can be used more effectively to reduce road offending and improve road safety.
The webinar, which takes place at 10am on Friday 24 May, is being facilitated by Dr Helen Wells, who is a roads policing researcher and director of the Roads Policing Academic Network (RPAN).
Registration is now open for the webinar, which takes place on Zoom and will last for approximately 45 minutes.
This webinar will discuss the results of a recent project, funded by The Road Safety Trust, looking at the use of evidence from ‘journey cams’ (dash cams, helmet cams, body cams, mobile phone) which has been submitted to the police by the public.
The project looked at this growing area of police business from the perspective of the police (nationally and locally) as well as road users (as submitters of footage and as the focus of footage submitted by others), with a view to making recommendations for future work in this area.
The objective of the research was to establish how the process could be developed to produce the best outcomes for road safety in ways that are seen as legitimate by the public and are realistic and manageable for the police.
The project was conducted by Dr Helen Wells and Dr Santiago Amietta (Keele University) in partnership with Lincolnshire Police and detective chief supt Andy Cox.
Registration is now open – and is free for employees of Road Safety GB member organisations and RSGB Academy members only.
