Crossing Borders To Save Lives For twenty years, TISPOL brought together traffic
police from across Europe with its core aim being to help make the continent's
roads safer. From its UK base, the organisation was pleased to have police
and/or interior ministry members in most European countries. By sharing
knowledge and best practice, being innovative with new technology, carrying out
multi-country road safety operations and keeping the public informed, TISPOL and
its members made their contribution to reducing death and serious injury on
Europe's roads. Its objectives were to help foster: Safe roads Safe speeds Safe
vehicles Safe road users TISPOL had a small Executive, as well as Council with
every member country represented. There were just two General Secretaries in
this period, latterly Ruth Purdie and, before then, the late Ian Hamill. Both
were supported by Pat Holdsworth, looking after financial and logistical
matters.
