KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur Police will be conducting a massive integrated traffic operation to curb various traffic offences, in collaboration with other enforcement agencies starting July 1.
Kuala Lumpur Police chief Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zin said the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department will work with the Road Transport Department (RTD), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Department of Environment (DOE).
"This operation will involve about 1,000 officers and police personnel with the respective agencies focusing on the offences under their own jurisdiction," he said during the Kuala Lumpur Police Obey Traffic Rules Operation participated by the other agencies, at the KL Police Contingent Headquarters here today.
Mohd Shuhaily listed illegal parking, obstruction of traffic, running red lights, illegal number plates, illegal tinting and various offences related to motorcycles as the targets of the integrated operation.
He said errant road users would also be educated on the dangers of not obeying traffic rules under Op Didik, throughout the undertaking.
"Police will also do background checks for arrest warrants and criminal records, detect stolen vehicles and take action against workshops which carry out illegal modifications.
"The Kuala Lumpur Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department will jointly take action on drug-related cases throughout the operation," he said.
Mohd Shuhaily said the exercise is intended to prevent such offences from going out of control and any untoward incidents, as the police will not compromise with anyone involved in criminal activities or traffic offences.
"The nature of this operation is to discipline, educate and advise road users to obey all traffic rules as well as the rules of the other enforcement agencies involved," he said.
For the record, 895 traffic investigation papers were initiated from Jan to May this year with the highest number of offences being obstruction of traffic, including illegal parking, at 311 cases followed by 180 cases of illegal racing and 167 cases of running red lights.
