It included a winking emoji to show the opposite was true, before adding: “An easy way to get drivers to slow down on our roads – thanks @waze.” This led to many angry comments accusing the force of “creating ghost units”, “putting false information” in the app, “lying” and modifying computer files “to deceive other users”. The police Twitter account said its location alerts were “technically not false” as the officers “are there at that very specific time”. He added: “Nowhere in Waze does it say the patrol has to be stationary.” After suggestions that the marker would be removed from Waze when other users report that officers are no longer there, the force wrote that it had tested its tactic and that it “works for about 10-20 minutes”, adding: “Every little bit helps ” and “I’ve been doing it for years and we know it works”. Rejecting a claim that the tactic reduced the police’s work in catching criminals, Surrey’s Roads Policing Team said: “Our teams focus on road-related offences. There are many other teams equally focused on burglaries, robberies, thieves and drug dealers.” Edmund King, chairman of the AA, said the “real issue” with Surrey Police’s use of Waze was “the massive reduction of officers in cars”. Home Office figures show that the number of equivalent full-time road police officers in England and Wales has fallen by 22 per cent over the past seven years, from 5,237 in March 2015 to 4,102 in March 2022. King added: “We know that speed camera signals and interactive smiley signals affect driver behavior and slow some drivers down. “Using police markers in Waze to indicate police presence is simply the modern equivalent of a speed camera signal.” He added: “With five deaths a day on our roads, it’s hard to argue with police tactics that potentially slow drivers down and save lives. Law-abiding motorists have nothing to worry about. “Ultimately we would like to see more police officers in cars to reduce wider crime, but in the meantime the police must do what they can to make the roads safer.” Earlier this year, an FOI request to police forces across the country found that of 1,092 fixed camera sites, only 523 were actually working. In some areas, such as North Yorkshire, Durham and Northamptonshire, there were no fixed speed cameras in operation at all.
