The Ghana Police Service says the implementation of the Police Anti-Insecure Loading Enforcement Strategy (PAILES) is now being rolled out across the country to prevent accidents ahead of the festive season.
This follows a piloting of the strategy in the Eastern Region over the past three months leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of over 50 insecurely loaded trucks.
Taking to their social media handle Facebook, the Ghana Police said PAILES is part of the service’s overall strategy to prevent accidents, especially during the festive season.
They are therefore urging the public to support the Police in their efforts to ensure strict compliance with the strategy to make the roads safe and secure during Christmas and beyond.
In addition, the police are engaging relevant stakeholders such as the cargo association, charcoal, and timber drivers unions across the country to educate and caution them on the dangers associated with insecure loading and the need to adhere to the required loading limits.
