Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion
Ms Paula Hilman:
Yes, it does. The regional assistant commissioners and divisional officers receive a monthly report so they can see the performance of their roads policing units monthly. In some of the towns that we look at, it is even about the number of our checkpoints. You can have a high number of checkpoints but it is a question of how that translates into detections. We know we breathalyse a lot of people but we need to know how that translates into detections. The percentage of positive results is at a lower percentage because the majority of people pass the tests that are done at checkpoints.
