New laser speed enforcement devices capable of detecting speeding motorists from inside police vehicles were launched by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service on Tuesday, as part of activities marking the end of United Nations Road Safety Week.
The launch took place at the Audrey Jeffers Highway layby, where Road Safety Coordinator for the TTPS, Sergeant Brent Batson, said the new Lidar devices are expected to strengthen enforcement efforts along highways and roadways across the country.
Sergeant Batson said the upgraded technology allows officers to identify speeding vehicles and capture images of registration plates at night, when many speeding offences occur.
