  • The number of motorists caught drink driving in the Thames Valley area over the festive period this year has fallen.<br />
Between 1 December 2012 and 1 January 2013, 278 drivers were arrested for driving with excess alcohol, compared to 299 in the same period in 2011.<br />
Of those arrested, 74 per cent were men and 26 per cent were women. The number of men caught has fallen by 11 per cent.<br />
A/Supt Henry Parsons, Head of Road Policing for Thames Valley and Hampshire said: “It’s really encouraging that we have seen a decrease in the number of people arrested for drink driving this year; however it is disappointing to see that there are people are still prepared to take that risk.<br />
“During the campaign period, the Force has seen a three per cent reduction in road traffic collisions and a 15 per cent reduction in incidents with road-related traffic offences such as drink driving.”<br />
During the campaign, 9.3 per cent of people arrested for drink driving were driving the morning after a night out, compared with 8.4 per cent last year.<br />
Out of the 278 drivers who failed the test approximately six per cent were three times over the legal drink drive limit. <br />
Despite a reduction in the number of tests (6585 compared with 7720 last year), there was a nine per cent increase in female drivers arrested after failing the breath test, compared to last year. . Bicester, UNITED KINGDOM. January 10 2013. <br />

  • Thames Valley Police is today (11/1), announcing its plans to equip more officers with Taser Electronic Control Devices. <br />
Following consultation with officers, local police area commanders and the Police Federation, the Chief Constable’s management team has implemented a plan that will see more officers being selected, assessed and trained to be equipped with the devices. <br />
This will see the total number of officers within Thames Valley trained to use Tasers increase by 280 to 485. This equates to a rise from 4.9 percent of officers to 11 per cent. <br />
The Force first issued Tasers to officers in 2004.  Currently only firearms officers are permitted to carry and use Taser devices. <br />
Over the past three years the total number of Taser deployments has increased from 795 in 2010, to 842 in 2011 and 936 in 2012. <br />
However, the number of instances where the devices were actually discharged has remained low, with only 16 incidents resulting in a discharge in 2010. This equates to 2 per cent of the total number of incidents where the use of a Taser was authorised.<br />
In 2011 there were only 14 incidents where a Taser was discharged. This is only 1.7 per cent of the total number of incidents where the use of a Taser was authorised.<br />
In 2012 there were 16 incidents where officers discharged a Taser. This is only 1.7 per cent of the total number of incidents where the use of a Taser was authorised. <br />
Assistant Chief Constable John Campbell, who is responsible for tactical support, said that this decision would also bring Thames Valley Police in line with the majority of other forces across the country.<br />
He said: “Until this decision was taken, Thames Valley Police was one of five forces in England and Wales that only permitted firearms officers to carry Tasers. <br />
“By rolling it out to specially trained officers, it will bring the percentage of officers trained closer to the national average of 11.5 per cent across the remaining 38 forces.”<br />
Chief Constable Thornton added: "As Chief

  • POOLE, UNITED KINGDOM. October 5 2011. Richard Skerman sits for a portrait at the chart table of RNLI City of Sheffield, the Tyne Class All Weather Lifeboat (ALB) based at Poole RNLI Station. Mr Skerman is the helm of Sergeant Bob Martin, the Poole based Atlantic 85 Class Inshore Lifeboat (ILB), assistant mechanic on the ALB and works for internationally renowned boat builders, Sunseaker. Since January 1 2011 RNLI Poole has launched their ILB 88 times, the ALB 27 times and Richard himself has taken part in 63 of those launches. According to him these figures are lower than he would normally expect given the figures for previous years. © Mark Chappell 2011.
