Operation Steerside was launched four years ago and works seven days a week using innovative tactics to address anti-social and dangerous driving on the District’s road network.
Between March 2020 and March 2021 the team seized 327 vehicles, made 76 arrests, issued 1,115 fixed penalty notices and summonsed 440 people to court for driving offences.
In recent years, it has evolved into a multi-agency partnership, instead of purely police led enforcement operation.
All agencies involved work collaboratively to continue with enforcement, but also look at changing behaviours including working with young people in schools and youth settings.
