Traffic Law Enforcement: The TEU is responsible for enforcing traffic laws and regulations, including speeding, reckless driving, DUI (driving under the influence), and seatbelt violations. By actively patrolling roadways, the TEU works to deter unsafe driving behaviours and reduce traffic accidents.
Accident Investigation: In the event of a traffic accident, the TEU conducts thorough investigations to determine the cause and circumstances of the incident. This includes gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reconstructing the scene to establish liability and assist with insurance claims.
Traffic Control: During special events, emergencies, or road closures, the TEU plays a critical role in managing traffic flow and ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians. Officers may direct traffic, set up roadblocks, or provide assistance to stranded motorists as needed.
BMBU
Versatile Mobility: Motorcycle officers have the advantage of manoeuvrability, allowing them to navigate through traffic more easily and access areas that might be challenging for traditional patrol cars. This agility enables them to respond quickly to emergencies and effectively patrol busy urban areas.
Escort Services: Motorcycle units often provide escort services for VIPs, funeral processions, or large convoys. Their ability to navigate through traffic with ease makes them well-suited for ensuring the safe passage of important individuals or groups.
Traffic Enforcement: Motorcycle officers are often deployed for traffic enforcement duties, such as monitoring speed limits, enforcing traffic laws, and addressing violations like reckless driving or running red lights. Their presence on the road helps deter unsafe driving behaviours and promotes compliance with traffic regulations.
Air Unit
Aerial Surveillance: The Air Unit utilizes helicopters equipped with advanced surveillance technology to monitor activities from above. This aerial perspective allows officers to observe large areas quickly and efficiently, aiding in the detection of criminal activity, traffic violations, and other incidents.
Search and Rescue Operations: Helicopters operated by the Air Unit are essential for conducting search and rescue operations in both urban and rural environments. They can quickly respond to emergency calls, locate missing persons, and provide assistance during natural disasters or other critical incidents.
Pursuit Assistance: Helicopters are often deployed to support ground units during vehicle pursuits. From the air, officers in the Air Unit can track fleeing suspects, provide real-time updates to ground units, and help coordinate efforts to apprehend the individuals involved.
