Roads Transport Policing Command

What do we do?

The Roads & Transport Policing Command is the frontline in policing the road network in the territorial force area. Officers focus on all criminality associated with the road network: vehicle crime and the illegal use of the road network. Traffic officers also have a focus on increasing road safety through their use of high-tech ANPR cameras, speed enforcement tactics and high visibility patrols.

Traffic officers also take lead on all pursuits and are trained in many tactical measures to bring pursuits to a safe close with minimal disruption to the road network through the use of TPAC (Tactical Pursuit and Containment), stingers and tactical contact among others.
RTPC officers are some of the highest trained officers in the server and have access to a large array of tools, training and high powered vehicles to aid our combat of vehicle related crime.

RTPC is the largest division in the server except ERT - and is the most active, with officers clocking thousands of hours per month. Day to day patrolling includes dealing with low-level markers (MOT, TAX and insurance), RTC’s, pre-emptive tactics on high level markers and pursuits. Officers are put through in-depth training and undergo retraining every 3 months to ensure we are operating at our highest level consistently.
