The St Christopher and Nevis Police Force is dedicated to improving road safety in the country. The police force is working hard on this mandate and several steps have also been taken to ensure citizen safety on the road.
Recently, Public Relations Officer Lesleigh Joseph donated eight breathalysers to Commissioner of Police James Sutton. The donation from the Police force officer came in the month of June and was aimed towards improving enforcement of traffic laws.
The breathalysers will help in ascertaining if a driver is operating their vehicle under influence. This will help in making sure that the people who are guilty of driving irresponsibly are held accountable for their actions.
The St Christopher and Nevis Police Force will be training their officers in the use of breathalysers. The expert for the process of the training will come to the island for the training initiative for the event.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police Cromwell Henry has shared that the trainer will be coming to St Kitts and Nevis at the end of the year. The officials have shared that they have contacted a certified breathalyser trainer from the United States.
The officials have shared that it is important for the members of the community to make sure that they follow all the traffic laws. The officials have shared that the donation will help in making sure that the roads of the country are safer for all the communities.
The breathalyzer will help the St Christopher and Nevis Police Force officers in making accurate and reliable assessments of an individual’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The officials have shared that it is important for the people of the country to make sure that they do not drive after drinking.
The officials have shared that alcohol impairs the judgement of the people while driving and can cause accidents. Under the influence, the people lose the ability to make split second decisions and can not protect themselves.
The members of the St Christopher and Nevis Police Force have shared that the breathalyzer training is extremely timely.
