<\/a><\/p>\nThe Police Service has rather explained that the decision to suspend the checks was aimed at helping its personnel focus on reducing needless vehicular accidents.<\/p>\n
The Director General in Charge of Administration at the Police Service, COP Ransford Moses Ninson addressed a press conference on Friday where he stated that \u201cthe signal not to check documents of drivers and vehicles was not directed at the MTTD personnel but the highway patrol personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter all, every police officer in whose presence a crime is being committed can and must arrest the culprit and ensure that he is prosecuted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
COP Ninson noted that the Police had observed that \u201cthe over-concentration of MTTD personnel on motor checks at the expense of traffic management has the likelihood of causing road fatalities.\u201d<\/p>\n
As an example, he noted that \u201cthere have been instances were some MTTD personnel have ignored broken down vehicle which pose great danger to other road users on roads because of supposed motor checks.\u201d<\/p>\n
