Officers can enforce any part of the traffic laws they wish - if they see an offence.

However, the STEP program highlights specific offences that Officers will be specifically looking for....

Does that answer your question?

S.T.E.P.

For the next two weeks Police will continue to focus on a very specific traffic programme known as S.T.E.P. (Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program).

On Wednesday 2nd July 2008, Police announced an increased capacity in the Roads Policing Unit (RPU) to address anti-social road behaviour.

Since the operation was reinvigorated we can report the following. Officers from the Roads Policing Unit have been targeting:

Speed
Helmet Straps
Tint
Illegal License Plates
Also of note:

Investigations into fatal road collisions in recent months have indicated that helmets not being fastened has been a major contributing factor to injury or death

Over 200 moving violation summonses have been written since the commencement of the initiative announced last week

Police Community Action Teams and watch patrols have been acting in support of the initiative as well

Accordingly, we would also like to announce that for the next 2 weeks speed, helmet straps, and tint will be the focus of the RPU, in accordance with the S.T.E.P. programme.

In the following two weeks, we will rotate to new offences to be targeted.
 
All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
