TRUCKPOL FACING CLOSURE

TRUCKPOL FACING CLOSURE: INDUSTRY PLEDGES ELEVENTH-HOUR SUPPORT THROUGH ITS FIGHT FREIGHT CRIME CAMPAIGN


The Freight Transport Association and the Road Haulage Association, together with leading sector publisher Road Transport Media, are joining forces to help secure the future of TruckPol through the “Fight Freight Crime, Save TruckPol” campaign.

Since the withdrawal of government funding in April last year, the national police intelligence unit has been funded entirely by an appreciative and generous private sector. But unless further, urgent funding is found, the writing looks to be on the wall for what is the only resource of its kind dedicated to fighting road freight crime.

It costs approximately £120,000 to fund TruckPol for 12 months. However, in these straightened times the collective pot of private sector funding is still some £30,000 short of the mark and with April fast approaching time is running out.
