NPCC Mobile Phone week
The NPCC , via National Roads Policing Operations , Intelligance & Investigatial forum , coordinates periods of dedicated action against mobile phone use by drivers .
Whilst these are primarily police-led activities , they are also an opportunity for partner agencies to get involved , perhaps in promoting the work of the police , supporting Operations with education , or running their own targeted activities .
It ’ s important to coordinate activities if you can , and to think about the messages and tone of what you say . It doesn ’ t make sense for one partner to recommend hands-free as an alternative to handheld use if other partners are keen to avoid simply encouraging drivers to think about what they can and can ’ t ‘ get away with ’ in a legal sense .
The National Roads Policing Operations , Intelligence & Investigatial ( NRPOII ) co-ordinates national campaigns around mobile phone use , speeding , seatbelts , drink and drunk driving and other offences .
