Acting Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken has issued stern instructions to senior traffic to implement strategies to reduce the sudden increase in road fatalities which according to police figures has 18 for the year.
Sixteen persons died during the same period last year, police said.
In an impromptu meeting held yesterday in the conference room at the police Headquarters, Eve Leary, Hicken summoned the force’s regional traffic officers and compelled them to ‘set the pace’ in order to ‘iron-out’ issues hampering the effective implementation of the Traffic Departments’ strategies countrywide.
