Police Scotland, along with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the
Scottish Ambulance Service and Community Safety for Aberdeenshire are
looking to help people realise the severity of anti-social driving and
its consequences.
The event will take place at the Huntly Fire Station, King Street, Huntly
on Saturday 28 March 2015 at 2pm, where there will be a short
presentation from the services in attendance and a staged crash within
the grounds of the fire station, showing how the emergency services deal
with a serious road collision from start to finish.
This will be followed by an informal question and answer session
allowing those attending to gain a better understanding of the role the
emergency services play.
Sergeant Sawers of the Marr Community Policing Team states:
"This type of
event is a positive step to ensure we continue to get the message across
about the dangers of anti-social and inappropriate driving. Operation
Collinsville is currently ongoing within the South Marr area and proving
to be very successful in reducing incidents of poor driving standards
through education at the road side. It is hoped that this event will
pull in drivers of all ages or those with a an interest in the work of
the emergency services. A further event is planned for Alford later in
the year."
