The vehicles, which are staffed by traffic police community support officers, are used to gather evidence of a range of motoring offences, including the non wearing of seatbelts and driving while using mobile phones, and to act as a highly visible deterrent to unsafe driving.

As well as carrying the Greater Manchester Police crest, the vehicles livery includes the logo of Drivesafe Greater Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police’s Traffic Network Unit has, today, (1/4/11) run a major operation to tackle all aspects of road-related crime and antisocial behaviour issues in the Trafford area.
Specialist traffic officers worked with local neighbourhood policing teams and partner agencies on the operation, which included driver education, HGV checks, speed, seat belt and mobile phone enforcement and the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to target criminals using the roads. Superintendent Craig Thompson said: "The aim of the operation was to reduce crime, educate people, improve quality of life and ultimately save lives."
