Sign up for Roads Policing Conference

20 September 2021

Suffolk Police Federation members are being encouraged to get involved in a conference highlighting the latest advances and best practice in the policing of our roads.

The Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) Roads Policing Conference 2021 is open to Federation members and workplace representatives for the first time - and organisers are keen to get as many as possible to take part.

A virtual event along similar lines to this year’s successful annual conference, it will offer members who register but cannot make it on Wednesday 29 September the chance to catch up via an on-demand service, available for 30 days afterwards.

Darren Harris, chair of Suffolk Police Federation, said:  “The conference is open to all members and will give them a chance to meet up and share experiences, discuss best practice and, to a certain extent, steer future policy.

“Policing is in a constant state of change and events such as this give our members the opportunity to get up to date on important developments in technology and equipment.

“I would encourage our members to sign up and take part. It is always very interesting and informative and there is always something new to learn.”

The agenda features keynote speeches from national Police Federation representatives and officials, panel discussions and Q & As on critical areas of focus for roads policing, continuing professional development certified sessions on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and a live operational roads policing exercise.

The winner of the PFEW Outstanding Contribution to Roads Policing Award will also be announced during the conference.

The event will again be hosted by talkRADIO presenter Ian Collins and will feature addresses from national chair John Apter, national roads policing lead Gemma Fox, policing minister Kit Malthouse and shadow policing minister Sarah Jones.
