In Rayleigh UK, a suspected drunk driver was intercepted just hours before his scheduled court appearance for a previous drugged driving offence, a timely stop credited to efforts by a local Essex Police Special Constabulary Patrol. The driver, already facing the prior drugged driving charges, was caught driving under the influence of alcohol after officers observed erratic behavior and conducted a roadside breath test.
The swift intervention helped remove a dangerous driver from the road, and underscored the valuable contribution that special constables make to everyday public safety, filling critical patrol gaps and boosting community protection.
