Reducing harm to road users

Devon and Cornwall Police are working hard with partners to reduce incidents where people are seriously harmed or killed while using our roads. As we approach the winter period, unfortunately we typically see an increase of incidents.  We as a Police Service with our partners will running a series of events in order to educate and take action with people who may be putting people at harm. 

If you have concerns about someone who by their actions may be putting people in harms way please ensure to report it to us by our website, crime stoppers or by coming into the Police Station. 

Update: 08 January 2025 - January 2025

Officers from St Austell Police Station are currently working with our partners and key members of the community to address issues caused by illegal off road bikers. Not only are the riders putting the community at risk but also themselves. High vis patrols are being conducted in areas where off road bikers have been reported and action is being taken with riders who are committing offences. To carry on this work we need the help of the wider community by reporting the issues caused by these off rider bikers when they are occurring to give us the best chance to locate and deal with the rider.
