SPECIAL constables caught 72 motorists speeding during a ‘No Excuse’ operation in Verwood.

The operation gave Specials the opportunity to be part of the running of Dorset Police.

Chief Officer of the Special Constabulary Debi Potter said: “The Special Constabulary worked very well over the weekend covering a wide range of incidents. These included road traffic collisions, thefts, driving offences, missing people and crime enquiries.”

In July, the force will be launching a recruitment drive.
