Ho, Oct. 21, GNA - All senior police officers in the Volta Region are to join personnel of the Motor Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU) of the Police Service on road checks.

The Volta Regional Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police David Nenyi Ampah-Bennin, told the meeting of senior police officers at Ho on Wednesday that this would ensure that drivers complied fully with traffic regulations.
