Please provide the following for each year between 2019 and 2024:
a) The number of speeding offences your force recorded (e.g., fixed and mobile camera-detected and officer-issued offences under Section 89 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984).

- c) If available:
- A breakdown of speeding offences by day of the week, and/or
- Time of day (e.g. by hourly bands or AM/PM).
Please provide whatever granularity is available; if only the date is held, that’s still helpful.
The day of the week is not recorded. The date and time are recorded together in the same field, and it is not possible to use digital means to separate them. It would be too lengthy a process to manually separate the date from the time and this would be prone to human error.
