Traffic officers focused on speeding, with seven drivers having their vehicles seized for various motoring offences.
One man was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving, and one on suspicion of drink-driving.
The Camera Safety Partnership identified 68 speeding offences, and the Off-Road Bike Team conducted high visibility patrols around HMP Doncaster.
Neighbourhoods Chief Inspector Jayne Forrest, who was Silver Commander for the day said: “Operation Duxford is about us acting upon intelligence and concerns from our communities and showcasing the work that we do that goes on every day, but often goes unnoticed. “Our district teams were supported by teams from our Operational Support Unit, including the Roads Policing Team, Tactical Support Group, and the Off-Road Bike Team.
They spent the day tackling all of our neighbourhood priorities, including antisocial behaviour, speeding and drug related crime.
“We are stronger with the support of our communities, so public engagement is a big part of what Operation Duxford is about. Every single piece of information helps to build a bigger picture, to ensure that our enforcement action is successful.”
Officers conducted high visibility patrols in the town centre throughout the day and into the evening, engaging with residents and business owners.
CI Forrest added: “I would like to thank all those people who took the time to speak to our officers yesterday. It has been great to hear some positive feedback from our communities.
