Policing Officers from Mobile Support Division but This Year, for the First Time, Applications Have Been Opened up to Officers Anywhere in Essex The Law www.essex.police.uk CiB Anglia Communic8 2008 awards winner – best small internal publication March 2009 Anglia CIPR PRide awards 2008 finalist – best newspaper or magazine HIGH-TECHNew system in use at crash sites METHODS is accurate to one centimetre KEEPING ROADS SAFE by Bill Stock ROAD crash investigators in Essex are using high-tech satellite-navigation surveying equipment to help them carry out faster and more detailed examinations at the scene of fatal and serious injury inci- dents. The £60,000 global positioning system (GPS) technology, which is accurate to within one centimetre, has been given to the Traffic Investigation Unit (TIU) by the Highways Agency. GPS allows officers to make detailed measure- ments while crashed vehicles are still in situ, whereas in the past they had to wait for wreckage to be cleared to make line-of-sight calculations. The time saving means that investigations at large crash scenes on motorways and trunk roads can be Sgt Richard carried out more quickly and reduce road-closure times. Raker, of the TIU officers are also hoping to be able to use further Traffic advanced technology soon to produce animations Investigation showing how crashes happen. Advanced computer Unit at software, currently being pioneered by Humberside Police, will allow officers to turn data gathered at Boreham crash scenes into ‘video’ clips which can be shown in court. And TIU officers are due to visit Humberside this month to find out more about the system, which will also further enhance their complex work at crashes. Picture by When called to crash scenes, TIU officers gather Duncan physical evidence, survey the site, record skids marks Thurlwell and gouges in the road surface, consider weather conditions and check vehicles for defects. Later, the team might re-create an accident or carry out skid tests on a specialist track at Dunton. Although officers have the grim task of viewing bodies at crash scenes, their work helps to prevent other accidents. Sgt Richard Raker, who heads the team, said: “We have to get to crash scenes quickly to preserve evi- dence and usually take three to four hours to do our work. But recently, one fail-to-stop fatal crash called for a 24-hour road closure. “Members of the public do not appreciate why roads are closed for such a long time. But when it does happen, we are the officers on scene and we hope that our work and investigations will ultimately help to make our roads safer.” The TIU normally recruits road policing officers from Mobile Support Division but this year, for the first time, applications have been opened up to officers anywhere in Essex. Sgt Raker added: “We are looking for motivated people. A background in engineering or any sort of technical degree would be an advantage but is not essential.” To apply to join, contact Sgt Raker at the TIU at Boreham 2 The Law, March 2009 News New recruits are aiming high Ambition for policing in Essex OPERATION Apex – the ambition for policing in Essex – has already secured £4.7million to recruit an additional 110 police officers between September 2008 and the end of this month – with a further 490 to come in the next three or four years.

During its investigation the Group received and considered carefully evidence from a wide range of interested parties on the historical background to the original proposal to rebuild the school and at the same co-locate Glenwood School at the site; and the latest Cabinet proposal to consult upon the closure of The Deanes. This scrutiny report sets out in detail the evidence examined by the Group. Ultimately the Group was united in its conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify support for the closure of The Deanes School, and agreed the following recommendation: RECOMMENDED TO COUNCILLOR GOODING AS THE CABINET MEMBER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING: That the Task and Finish Group, established by the People and Families Scrutiny Committee, has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to close The Deanes School on the basis of current evidence, and a repositioned school could be a success and offer an alternative to other schools in the area.

    CASTLE POINT open spaces strategy 2008 - 2013 1 CASTLE POINT OPEN SPACES STRATEGY 2008 - 2013 foreword Foreword The aim of the Open Spaces Strategy is to assess and analyse the quantity and quality of the existing open spaces within the Borough of Castle Point, to consider their varied functions and significance for the Borough and to consider them in the wider sense of the Council’s corporate objectives. The Strategy sets out the vision for what the Council would like to achieve in terms of aims, objectives and broad policies for the Open Spaces within the Borough. This is based on an understanding of the supply, distribution, quality and level of use of the Open Spaces available, combined with the needs of the local communities within Castle Point. A key component of the Strategy is the Action Plan, which provides a focus for the implementation of the Strategy. Methods for monitoring and review of the process have been developed to measure the progress and delivery of the aims of the Strategy. CASTLE POINT OPEN SPACES STRATEGY 2008 - 2013 contents 1.
