- Excess AlcoholF2
Excess AlcoholEvery year more than 250 people die on Britain's roads as a result of drink driving. In 2014, North Yorkshire Police arrested up to a thousand drivers for being above the legal alcohol limit, and with some of the highest rates of drink driving in the country, all too often North Yorkshire's traffic officers are faced with the tragic consequences of motorists driving under the influence. The traffic cops are on a mission to hunt down habitual drink drivers. When a driver loses control of his car on a rural road and dies at the scene of the accident, they have to investigate the final hours of the man's life prior to the crash to try to determine the cause. Habitual drink drivers are often reported to the police by concerned members of the public. When the police receive a tip-off, a Tadcaster traffic officer spots the suspect as he emerges from a pub. The man fails the roadside breath test, but it can't be used as evidence, and he has to be taken back to the police station to prove evidentially that he is over the limit. With delays to the process, the clock is ticking... An overloaded flat-bed transit van passes a Scarborough traffic officer on the busy A64, and a check on the driver and his load unearths a number of motoring offences. The driver is a chatty chancer but, unbeknownst to him, or so he says, his licence has been revoked for years. A disqualified driver's details are dispatched by the control room. He passes a police vehicle that attempts to pull him over, but to no avail - then, bizarrely, there is a lengthy car chase at 25mph. A driver leaving a pub spots a patrol car, and a five-minute car chase takes place repeatedly around a housing estate. When Harrogate traffic officers eventually stop the car, the driver tries to run away. - ControlF3
ControlNorth Yorkshire is one of Britain's largest counties - with 6000 miles of road and just 60 traffic officers. The police here rely on specially trained call handlers and dispatchers in York's force control room to respond to up to 1000 emergency calls everyday. And, using a network of Automatic Number-Plate Recognition Cameras called ANPR, they help the officers track the movements of wanted criminals, and drivers who shouldn't be on the road. Controller Nia Russell is contacted by a member of the public, who has called the police to report two males acting suspiciously in his back yard. Nia dispatches the report to Harrogate Traffic Officers Paul Cording and Mark Mullins. It's a bitterly cold night and when the officers come across the males, it soon becomes apparent they are not criminals lurking in the dark, but just cold, hungry and a little lost. The men are from Eritrea, don't speak any English, and dealing with them takes the officers some considerable time. Much like the rest of the UK, North Yorkshire is covered by a network of strategically positioned Automatic Number-plate Recognition Cameras (ANPR). Supported by specially trained staff in York's force control room, North Yorkshire's dedicated Road Crime Team are able to intercept a team of shoplifters as the flee from the scene of the crime in their getaway car. Gale force winds and atrocious weather conditions challenge Scarborough traffic officers Paul Moon and Mark Gonella as they respond to a crash at a local beauty spot. A young driver with passengers overturns his car in an area renowned as an illegal racetrack for car enthusiasts. And, when a member of public brings a lost dog to the attention of Road Crime Team officers Mick Roffe and James Duffy, the officers' patience is put to the test when a poodle dog escapes their clutch. Meanwhile, in the control room the dogs' owner makes calls in to report her poodle missing. Eventually the officers manage to collar the dog and reunite it with
