Operation Dark Night

Starting from today (Monday, 27 October 2025), officers from our Roads Policing Unit will be joining forces across the country as part of the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) Campaign, ‘Operation Dark Night’, which this year focuses on the risks to pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.

Over the next two weeks (Monday, 27 October – Sunday, 9 November) officers will be educating road users on driving with caution around vulnerable road users. As well as working with pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders to encourage the use of high visibility reflective clothing and handing out bike lights to cyclists as they face higher risks during low-light conditions.

Alongside this, officers will be conducting roadside vision screening and sharing important information about how motorists can keep their vision clear in all light conditions.
