 OPERATION ZERO 2011: MASSIVE PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT AS CORNER STONE TOWARDS ACHIEVING DESIRED SUCCESS

Following the successful planning and execution of Operation Zero Tolerance: sanctity of life in 2010, the Corps can not rest on its oars, but to soar higher and sustain its tract record of achievements.

2.       There is no doubt that the year 2011 Operation Zero Tolerance is going to be equally massive, as was the previous year. It is however to be preceded by massive public enlightenment nationwide to commence aggressively on 1 Dec 11.  This is so because the desired road traffic comportment largely is attitudinal, hence the need to change negative attitude towards road traffic regulation, appeal to the sense of recognition and willingness of the motoring public to change for the positive, and will achieve lasting effects on all.

3.       Consequently, while RSHQ has step up public enlightenment at its level, all Commands are hereby directed to map up their strategies for the same purpose.  All such plans are to be done meticulously, strategically and carried out diligently.  Results of execution are to be forwarded to RSHQ for assessment.

4.       You are to note that the best three (3) Zonal Commands with well organized and sustained public enlightenment throughout Dec 11 will be commended appropriately. The timeline for this assessment is wef 1 Dec 11 to 30 Jan 12.

5.       This year 2011 special patrol will cover 21 main corridors, 68 routes, 16 critical corridors, 20 Help Areas and 10 traffic control points. RSHQ participants will be deployed as from 15th Dec to 15th Jan 2012 to various locations nationwide.  The theme for year 2011 Operations is ‘’Operation Zero Tolerance: Actualising UN Decade of Action 2011-2020’’.

6.       Zonal Commanding Officers are to ensure that all Commands under them organize their individual programmes which are expected to be grass root based, and be properly documented. However, any command that fails to embark on the exercise shall be sanctioned as appropriate.

7.       Treat as imperative and consider as a national assignment and acknowledge receipt, please.

8.       Thank you.
