FIVE more high-tech cameras that catch more than just speeding have been rolled out in the police force area.
Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion has invested a further £50,000 in laser-based TruCam devices, increasing the total number in use to 18 in West Mercia.

The cameras have proven a success, with West Mercia Police officers catching 29 speeding offences in two days using TruCam technology in Worcestershire.
The new funding has increased the number of cameras on the roads by five.

What is a TRUCAM?
The ‘TruCam’ is a state-of-the-art camera that captures digital evidence of traffic offences and streamlines the process of issuing fines.
It not only monitors speed but also records high-definition video that can be used to catch multiple other driving offences, such as drivers not wearing seatbelts or being distracted.
