#RPU stopped this company car right out of the gate this morning in one of the unmarked cars. An unnecessary overtake into oncoming traffic over two solid white lines. Drive safe please, you never know who is watching…

We've been working with schools & Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether about planning for a major incident in a school. Although lockdown events are uncommon & schools are safe places, we have a collective responsibility to make sure we are as prepared as possible to keep our children safe.
