The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) has ramped up efforts to address traffic violations along major access roads in rural communities, with the Micoud Police Division leading the charge. This intensified crackdown has been met with both praise and criticism by St Lucians.
In a bid to enhance safety and security, officers have been deployed in full force, leaving no stone unturned. Regular checkpoints, speed enforcement, and inspections for valid documentation have become a common sight on key routes around the island. Inspector in charge of the Micoud Police Station Zachary Hippolyte says the initiative is essential to curbing reckless driving, preventing accidents, and fostering a culture of accountability among road users.
The RSLPF has stood firm in its commitment to ensuring public safety, urging motorists to comply with traffic laws and view the measures as a proactive step toward reducing road incidents.
As the crackdown continues, citizens are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences with us. Should the police maintain their strict stance, or is there room for a more discretionary approach?
