    Speeding, using mobile phones at the wheel, drink or drug driving and not wearing a seatbelt are the fatal four causes of road deaths, the force said.

    A new group of 12 designated officers will patrol the county's roads in unmarked vehicles targeting people who break the rules.

    Quote Message

    I think this will be an important step in tackling the injury and death toll on our roads. Every incident has a terrible, and sometimes tragic, impact on those involved and we must do everything in our power to reduce this problem."

    The force said it would never do this and urged people to report any similar calls to them.

  15. Mother of girl killed by flying wheel speaks outpublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 4 May 2018

    The mother of a schoolgirl who was killed in a freak accident has spoken about her decision to donate her daughter's organs and encouraged others to go on the donor list.

    amelia wood

    Amelia Wood was just 11 when she died after being hit by a wheel which had come off a passing Land Rover at Manby, near Louth. Police say an investigation into the circumstances of Amelia's death is still ongoing.

    Her mothrer, Hayley Hodson, says they had already been through tough times with Amelia as she'd had leukaemia when she was three.

    But that had also helped her make her decision about organ donation.

    Quote Message

    I instantly said yes and realised that it was a decision we all needed to make as a family, but everyone supported me. When Amelia was ill she had platelets and blood transfusions. So many people helped us through that time that we just had to do it.

  17. Policing service 'moves forward' without Notts forcepublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 4 May 2018

    BBC News

    The East Midlands Operational Support Service (EMOpSS) has relaunched with a new structure following a decision by Nottinghamshire Police to withdraw.

    Armed police officers

    EMOpSS was established three years ago and provided roads policing, armed policing, and dog support across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.

    Nottinghamshire Police has now removed its 150 officers from has service claiming it was costly and "fundamentally flawed".

    EMOpSS will now continue with the three police forces.

    Quote Message

    Since the decision was taken by Nottinghamshire Police to leave EMOpSS earlier in the year, the project board has worked hard with officers and staff to ensure the delivery of a new three-force collaboration for Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. The turnaround times have been tight and while there are still areas which need fully resolving, the bulk of the new structure is largely embedded, the relevant risks assessed, and we are now in a strong position to move forward.”
