As an integral part of the Camera Enforcement team, you will work independently to enforce, working alone in a designated vehicle, using mobile speed recording equipment, vehicles which do not comply with the speed limits on the road network within the West Yorkshire Police area. This is not an office-based role, it is a public facing enforcement role.
After relevant training, you will have the ability to work with back-office camera systems to enforce, using mobile and fixed speed recording equipment, the speed limits on designated roads. You will also support the Judicial process by presenting expert evidence at Magistrates and Crown Court in relation to all areas of speed enforcement. To be considered, you will have similar experience of working in a public facing role, a proven understanding of computer applications such as MS Office, and a working knowledge of relevant common operating systems such as MS Windows. You will be required to complete a manual lifting and handling course, as well as hold a full current UK Manual driving licence (Automatic licence is not applicable) and the ability to travel for business purposes. Due to the nature of the role, you must have the emotional resilience to deal with challenging situations.
