Ch Insp Jon Chapman said a few miles per hour "can be the difference between life and death".
The number of types of vehicle stopped were:
1,844 cars
58 vans
18 lorries
Three motorcycles
One bus
"The number of speeding offences detected as part of this year's campaign is extremely disappointing to see," said Ch Insp Chapman.
