EMPD fleet

There is a coordinated process about organizing vehicles to appear on the EMPD fleet with blue lights and issuing appointment cards to confer policing authority involving criminal record checks.

“We are talking at this stage about processes to finalise two separate issues. The one is the organisation of the vehicles so that they will appear on the EMPD fleet and be able to use blue lights. And the second is these appointment cards that will give the appearance that the holders have some sort of policing power. There is an issue in relation to the appointment cards which relates to criminal records because the process of issuing cards to law enforcement authorities involves some sort of criminal record check.”
