All Police personnel engaged in the nighttime inspection of vehicles have been instructed to wear luminous jackets and gloves.
They have also been ordered to use only the specific red signal torches provided to halt vehicles at night.
The directive was issued by the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), due to drivers being unable to control their vehicles in the instances of being stopped by Police using bright lights, resulting in accidents.
Incidents have also been reported of Police officers being involved in accidents due to not wearing luminous jackets while on night duty.
As of last night, legal action had been initiated against 8,747 traffic violators, including 252 who were found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. (Newswire)
