Operation Snap Any footage submitted through the portal can be used by us to help educate other road users and to advise on case results. For more information email [email protected] * * * * * Operation Snap As part of Operation Snap, members of the public can report and submit digital footage showing potential traffic offences via a secure online form. This can range from driving dangerously or carelessly to over- taking on solid white lines, using a mobile phone while driving, ignoring traffic lights or dangerous driving around other road users, such as horse riders and cyclists. Your submission will be sent to West Mercia Police where the evidence will be reviewed by one of our road traffic police officers. Due to the large volume of sub- missions received each week, we are unable to update each submitter regarding the outcome of their allegation. However, all submissions are dealt with pro- actively to help reduce risk taking and poor driving on our counties roads. 26 Protect West Mercia Police's Protect campaign seeks to tackle serious and organised crime (SOC) and the harm it causes in our communities. Working closely with our partners, Protect will ensure we are in the best possible position to pursue, prevent, protect and prepare against organised crime groups. We want to empower and engage our local communities as we believe they will play an integral part of the solution in tackling SOC. We have therefore established Local Policing Priority Teams (LPPTs) to target problems specific to your local community, be that relating to drugs, burglary, modern day slavery, economic crime or fraud. Using new ways of working we will relentlessly pursue those involved to disrupt and dismantle their criminality, making sure they are not just put before the courts but also stripped of their ill-gotten gains. We are committed to protecting the most vulnerable people in our communities from harm and know that tackling serious and organised crime will play a big part in this. * * * * * #UncoverYourPotential People across Shropshire, Telford, Herefordshire and Worcestershire are being urged to uncover their potential and consider a career with the police with the launch of a new campaign. The #UncoverYourPotential campaign was produced by Women of West Mercia (WOW), the women's staff network for West Mercia Police, in conjunction with second year students from the Creative Media course at the University of Worcester. The centrepiece of the campaign is an exciting video, starring officers and staff of all roles and ranks across West Mercia Police, which is fun, engaging and surprising, with a message that the force hopes others will want to share.
