Kent's Highways Agency Traffic Officers a year on patrol
Highways Agency Traffic Officers in Kent are celebrating their first birthday. The service has gone from strength to strength in the county as the service's ongoing partnership with Kent Police continues to grow.
(Media-Newswire.com) - Traffic Officers started patrolling motorways in the South East when they went live in Surrey in August 2005. The service was further extended to include Kent in January 2006 - a year ago - and has since then started patrols in Hampshire ( June 2006 ).
The service aims to make journeys safer, keep traffic moving and ensure motorists are kept informed of traffic conditions. They have taken over many of the roles traditionally carried out by the police and in so doing, have relieved the police so they can focus on their core function - combating crime.
When: Friday 19th of January 2007
Where/Location: Highways Agency Oustation Coldharbour PCO ( M20 Junction 5 ) London Road Maidstone, Kent ME20 7SL
