More police targeting traffic offenders
Print Edition
SHANGHAI traffic police have been joined by other police officers in the crackdown on traffic offenses.
In Wujiaochang Town, Yangpu District, 225 of 11,652 traffic offenses recorded from the beginning of this year were discovered by patrol officers, the town traffic police squad said at the weekend.
Ren Yingjun, head of the squad, said help from the patrol officers with whom the traffic police officers often work in tandem on the streets, making law enforcement more effective and efficient.
“Previously it often happened that offenders vehemently protested (when apprehended by) traffic police officers, but with our colleagues along with us, such cases become rare,” he said.
Tian Liang, vice head of the town police station, said surveillance staff were also looking out for traffic offenses by monitoring video cameras.
Patrol officers had not yet been equipped with professional devices such as the PDAs (portable digital assistants) that traffic police carry, he added, but “they’re authorized to issue administrative penalties to traffic offenders with legal papers they use in daily work.”
The city’s new traffic law, however, which takes effect on March 25, gives police from all departments authority to enforce traffic laws.
