The police have been receiving complaints from members of the public about dangerous and anti-social driving for some time. Operation SNAP allows us to effectively deal with the footage in a safe and secure way, whilst making the investigation process simple and straight forward for the police and members of the public. They have a determined and robust approach to policing the roads and will take every opportunity to make them safer for everyone. Operation SNAP is not asking you to go out and detect offences for us, but we will deal with any you find.
All Roads Policing cars, marked and unmarked, are fitted with video recording equipment. The Police make use of this all the time. They capture offences and deal with them as appropriate. The Police work in partnership with Local Authorities, other Welsh Police Forces and with GoSafe. The camera vans you see are not there just to catch people speeding. They capture all sorts of offences and deal with them: people using phones, people distracted by sending texts, people not wearing their seatbelts etc. They are deployed for the safety of all road users.
