Traffic Operational Command Unit
- Traffic Operational Command Unit
The Traffic Operational Command Unit (CO15) is a Central Operations branch of the London Metropolitan Police Service. The unit is responsible for policing of the roads, such as the London road network. It has been in existence since 1930, when motor traffic patrols were set up at police stations.
Its officers, who can be distinguished by the white covers worn over their uniform caps, work out of one of six traffic garages situated in Euston (covering central London), Alperton, Wimbledon, Catford, Hampton and Romford.
