Essex Police - Extra Eyes

This service has been put in place to facilitate submissions of video and photographic evidence relating to driving incidents that members of the public have witnessed. Please complete the form below and upload your footage to us.

Disclaimer

This campaign has been put in place to allow submissions of video and photographic evidence relating to driving incidents that members of the public have witnessed. The campaign does not encourage members of the public to seek out offences and submissions should only be of those offences that you encounter in the natural course of your journey.

PLEASE NOTE: This secure form deals with traffic offences. It is NOT for submitting footage of Road Traffic Collisions or any other offences.

If you are reporting a Road Traffic Collision please use this link

Any reports of parking offences should be referred to the relevant local council or highway authority in the locality where it occurred.

Before continuing please ensure that you have read and understand the Extra Eyes FAQ's

To continue, you must be able to provide the registration number of the offending vehicle and you must be willing to attend court to provide evidence, should the case go to trial.

I confirm that I understand that dashcam footage falls under the Category of CCTV and as the footage is taken in the public domain, the Domestic Purposes Exemption under the Data Protection Act/UKGDPR does not apply and therefore all users are Data Controllers in their own right.
