A few weeks ago I made a presentation to the police teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces. Here's the second of a number of threads on my presentation.
What do campaigners want from a road crime reporting operation?
1/ Image
Campaigners recognise that many forces want to do better, but are often constrained by resources. More officers, better skills and better use of automation are vital. They are keen to see police action linked to city or town plans for road harm reduction.
2/ Image
Many of the campaigners see the work of three forces as particularly successful at the moment, and want to see the things they do well, repeated in all forces.
3/
They also want officers who understand cycling. Both in the sense of the intimidation most cyclists feel from reckless drivers, and recognition of what can be expected of a cyclist. Many suggested all officers who could, should do a Bikeability course.
4/
I'll tweet the other sections of my presentation today and tomorrow. Next up are proposals for the Reporting Portal.

Here's the third thread:

Here's the final of a number of threads of the presentation I made to the teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces. This thread is about citizen partnership road crime reporting.
1/6 Image
Campaigners have often been working in the area for decades, often much longer than police teams. They often draw on professional expertise that they share widely.
Police teams would be enhanced if they used this expertise in the staff training programmes.
2/6
The most pressing area for change relates to the principles for decision-making to ensure we effectively reduce road harm and increase cycling. Understanding the cycling experience is vital here.

Here's the 6th of a number of threads of the presentation I made to the teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces. This tweet is about wider awareness of road crime reporting action.
1/6 Image
Cycling campaigners recognise that the best way to achieve behaviour change for most road crime offenders is in early intervention and direct education. Action against individual offenders is one way to achieve this ...
... , but helping the wider driver community understand what the rules are, and what happens when they are broken, is also vital.

Here's the 5th of a number of threads of the presentation I made to the teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces.

This tweet is about action taken by police against offending drivers.
1/7 Image
The biggest concerns were that actions were so variable for seemingly identical driver behaviours. This really does undermine the trust that local citizens have in forces.
2/7
Cyclists, along with pedestrians and horse riders, are the most vulnerable to harm on the road, and they want their forces to take appropriate action to educate drivers about careless and inconsiderate driving around cyclists. Campaigners know that the evidence ...

Here's the 4th of a number of threads of the presentation I made to the teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces. This tweet is about feedback on reports made to the police portal.
1/11 Image
Many forces do feedback on action taken by the police to those reporting road crime. But it isn’t universal. And the quality of feedback does vary.
For road crime reporting to be a model of civic engagement forces need to name what course of action is to be taken.
2/11
Campaigners just want to know if their report results in No Further Action, a warning letter, an Notice of Intended Prosecution or the offender going straight to court. They recognise that NIP can result in other outcomes ...

Here's the third of a number of threads of the presentation I made to the teams who run the Operation Snap road crime reporting systems in English and Welsh police forces.
This tweet is about consistency of decision-making.
1/7 Image
This was the issue campaigners became most animated about.
Cycling campaigners want national standards of decision-making. It is the single thing most often complained about.
2/7 Image
Written, transparent criteria for police action are probably the biggest single change cycling campaigners want to see.

We want improvements to the reporting portal.
1/8 Image
Cycling campaigners don’t understand why the reporting portal can’t be standardised.
2/8 Image
There is also particular concern that cyclists aren’t seen as victims of crime. While reports come from third-party witnesses, cyclists are almost always the victim of an offence. Indicating whether you report as a victim, or as a third-party witness, would be a great first step.
