Basseterre, St. Kitts. The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) continues its proactive efforts to enhance road safety through targeted enforcement initiatives. 

On January 24, 2025, the Traffic Department, led by Superintendent Bradshaw, Sergeant Henry, and a team of dedicated officers, conducted multiple Vehicular Checkpoints (VCPs) along the Island Main Road in the vicinity of Johnson Long Path.

The operation, carried out between 6:30 AM and 11:00 AM, resulted in the issuance of thirty-nine (39) traffic tickets for a range of traffic violations. 

The offenses detected include:

 • Failing to produce a driver’s license immediately – 2 offenses

 • Identification mark not conforming to regulations – 3 offenses

 • Exceeding the speed limit – 20 offenses

 • Driving with a dark-tinted windscreen – 5 offenses

 • Driving an unlicensed vehicle – 1 offense

 • Driving without an identification mark at the front – 1 offense

 • Using defective tires showing thread – 3 offenses

 • Driving with dark-tinted windows – 2 offenses

 • Driving without a valid and unexpired driver’s license – 2 offenses

The operation underscores the Police Force’s  commitment to enforcing traffic laws to maintain safe roadways and reduce traffic violations. Drivers are reminded to adhere to traffic regulations at all times, as non-compliance not only endangers their lives but also the lives of other road users.

The RSCNPF will continue conducting similar operations in other areas to reinforce compliance and deter unsafe driving practices. These efforts form part of the Force’s broader mission to safeguard public safety and ensure the protection of all road users.
