Bedfordshire Police looking for Speed Watch and Street Watch volunteers

The Bedfordshire Police website states: "Street Watch gives you and your community an opportunity to keep your area safe by walking around your neighbourhood and encouraging people to report things, like antisocial behaviour, vandalism and suspicious behaviour.

"As a Street Watch member, you'll patrol your local area alongside one of your neighbours for at least two hours every month, at times which suit you."

Meanwhile, Speed Watch aims to let police know about locations of concern – and you could help them.

The website adds: "We'll assess the location and if we think it's a good and safe place for monitoring to happen, trained members of the community will visit the location to record the details of offending vehicles.

"Anyone caught speeding will be sent a letter from us informing them of their offence.

"We also monitor the data so we can take action against repeat offenders or those severely breaking the speed limit."

Full training will be provided by the force. Click here to sign up and learn more.
