Driving Permits
N.Smith made this Freedom of Information request to Dyfed Powys Police
The request was successful.
From: N.Smith
7 October 2009
Dear Sir or Madam,
I wanted to enquire about the driving permits offered by your Force
to Police Officers. The questions I have are:
1) What levels of driving permits are offered?
2) What do each of the driving permits allow the holder to do?
3) What training is required for each of the driving permits and
how are the candidates assessed? How long in length are the courses
for each of the respective driving permits?,
4) Are any of the driving permits offered by your Force, offered in
a modular basis, (i.e. are they offered in modules of 1 week at a
time until the course is complete etc),
5) Which of the permits are available to Special Constables?
6) If any modular courses are offered, are the available to Special
Constables?,
7) How many Special Constables in your Force have driving permits
which allow them to respond (i.e. use blue lights, sirens and
allowed the holder to utilise the relevant exemptions afforded to
them in law with respect of speeding, going through red lights
etc),
I would appreciate any information that is available, in particular
the information that relates to Special Constables.
Many thanks
Yours faithfully,
N.Smith
