The drivers of these vehicles were immediately provided instant insurance policies by insurance companies present before they were allowed to continue with the journey to their various destinations.<\/div>\n
It said Dr. Justice Ofori commended the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare for ensuring that the Motor Insurance Database (MID) was a success.<\/div>\n
Participants for the training were Senior Police Officer drawn from all 18 administrative regions of the Ghana Police Service.<\/div>\n
The training aimed at providing participants with knowledge on the MID, which has been a game changer for insurance sector and for road traffic investigative purposes.<\/div>\n
The MID was launched in 2020 to help curb the disruptive incidents of fake insurance stickers in the system.<\/div>\n
Dr. Justice Ofori said: \u201cthe use of the MID for enforcement on our roads has not only provided support to the insurance industry but I believe it is also helping the Police in their road traffic investigations with the view to protect innocent lives and property. Drivers and vehicle owners have become more cautious and no longer susceptible to the modus operandi of fraudsters\u201d.<\/div>\n
Mr Francis Aboagye Nyarko commended the NIC for their commitment and resolve to continuously support the police in the enforcement of the Road Traffic Act 1959<\/div>\n
Statistics from the Police MTTD indicates that the months of January and February 2022 have seen a reduction in the number of deaths on our roads which stand at 469 as against 517 during the same period last year.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
