On 26 July 2016, EUPOL COPPS delivered 26 handset radios to the Palestinian Civil Police Traffic Department (PCPTD). By providing PCPTD with those handheld radios, EUPOL COPPS aims to improve the PCPTD’s efficiency to undertake community policing services and duties throughout the West Bank.
This equipment will enable the officers of the Traffic Department to work in a more professional and competent manner. Specifically, effective communications will facilitate traffic officers to alleviate their core duties of traffic management and realize their current objectives of increased public safety.
The objective is also to improve the response time to road accidents and service requests from the Palestinian citizens. Statistics are showing that an improved response time leads to a decrease in the seriousness of road users’ injuries from an accident as well as the number of traffic accidents fatalities.
It is fundamental to ensure that Traffic Police units are provided with an effective communications systems that will allow them to carry out their duties on a more efficient manner, aiming at creating a safer environment for the communities they serve.
