Divisional Structure

What is our Command Structure?

The Traffic Command Team is divided into two tramlines containing one Lieutenant, each one with their own specific areas of responsibility and duties to attend to. We also employ at least two Staff Sergeants to assist our Lieutenants with their specific duties as well as carry out a broader set of command duties and manage day to day operations.

Recruitment Department

Responsible for the initial appointment and training of Traffic Officers through effective management of our recruitment process. They are also responsible for setting up practical assessments and making sure they run smoothly. As well as making sure all RTTs are doing their job and keeping them up to standards 

Development Department

Responsible for the continued development of Traffic Officers through effective management of our probation and training procedures, in addition to the development of new initiatives to address issues within the division.

• Ensuring RTU applications are marked properly and in good time

• Running practical recruitment stages

• Running campaigns

• Monitoring observation report quality

• Enacting internal disciplinary proceedings

The Training Team

Our Traffic Trainers also play a vital role in running the Road Traffic Unit. They assist the command team with:
