Our contribution so far:
The Police:
We have strong links with the police that have been built up over time. We are in regular correspondence regarding various matters with a sharing of information that is helpful to all.
Since 2001 we have conducted advanced car driving and motorcycle riding courses for the Cyprus Police, including the Police Driving School.
Through their officers we hope that with the knowledge gained they will be able to advise other drivers and fellow officers constructively on all aspects of safe driving.
We also consult for the police on UK Law and procedures and EU Law and directives.
