Op Snap - Dash Cam Submissions

West Yorkshire Police has developed a form that can be used by the public to submit dash cam footage of dangerous driving.

Submitting Dash Cam Footage to West Yorkshire Police

West Yorkshire Police has developed a form that can be used by the public to submit dash cam footage of dangerous driving.

The footage is reviewed by the police to see if an offence has been committed and whether it will be possible to progress with action against the offender.

The form can only be used for driving offences, it is not for submitting footage of Road Traffic Collisions or public order offences, and is not for reporting crime.

To ensure the best outcome, the footage should include:

  • The offending vehicle’s number plate, this must be visible.
  • It must be moving video, photos can’t be used.
  • The incident should be reported ASAP and no later than 10 days after as there are certain time limits in legislation which must be complied with.
  • The footage should include the whole incident and wherever possible, should include 1 minute prior and 1 minute after the alleged offence.

To find out more and to submit footage, visit West Yorkshire Police’s website.

Thank you to anyone who submits footage, you are helping to improve road safety.
