Police directed to enhance safety measures during night-time vehicle inspections

Date:

December 26, Colombo (LNW): Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Priyantha Weerasooriya has issued new directives aimed at bolstering the safety of police officers conducting vehicle inspections during the night.

According to the Police Media Division, the new guidelines require all officers engaged in night-time checks to wear high-visibility luminous jackets and gloves to ensure they are clearly seen by drivers, especially in low-light conditions.

Additionally, the officers have been instructed to use only the designated red signal torches provided by the department when signalling vehicles to stop.

This step is being implemented to standardise the equipment used during such operations, ensuring maximum visibility and safety for both officers and the public.
