What is the Met Commercial Vehicle Unit with Inspector Richard Wenham.. Richard (or Rik) Wenham is an Inspector with the Metropolitan Police and heads up the Commercial Vehicle Unit, that deals with crime, incidents and accidents related to vehicles over 7.5T within the Met's jurisdiction.
Rik discusses his fresh approach to policing CV's in London as well as dispels a few myths on what to expect from his team if you deal with them. Rik and his team hold HGV licenses themselves and it is clear the increased empathy for professional drivers in the industry and he ensures they are treated as such.
This means a mix of high expectations, after all drivers will be treated as the professionals they are, but also high levels of respect and dignity too. Listen in to find out more as well as the key metric for success in Rik's department which is to reduce KSI's (Killed or Seriously Injured) on London's roads.
Rik shares insights of his work as well as discussing mental health and the way incidents are managed by the force. Rik also explains the amazing proactive work he and his team are carrying out through education and their toolbox talk.
