KUALA LUMPUR: Road users with warrants of arrests will be detained during Ops Selamat from April 29 until May 8, says Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Razarudin Husain.

       He said they would be brought to nearest police stations while those who had pending summonses would be required to settle it during the 10-day operation.

       "We will use the 'In-Car Radar' at highways and main roads throughout the operation.

       "It enables the police patrol vehicle (MPV) to detect any vehicle used in criminal activity or drivers who are wanted.

       "The Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) will also use the iCOPS system to detect traffic offenders that have pending summonses and arrest warrant," he told reporters after launching Ops Selamat, held in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri on Tuesday (April 26).

       Ops Selamat would be focusing on ensuring the safety of belongings and homes as well as reducing the number of house break-ins during the festive season, he said.

       "The operation also aimed at minimising the number of road accidents and fatalities," he added.

       All elements within the police force would be mobilised during the festive season, Razarudin said.

       "We are focusing on total enforcement.

       "We hope the public will adhere to traffic regulations for the safety of all road users," he said.

       Razarudin said the number of vehicles on the roads at any one time during the festive season could reach between two million to four million vehicles, starting on Friday (April 29).

       "JSPT along with other relevant agencies such as the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the Fire and Rescue Department are ready to face any eventuality to ensure the safety of all road users," he said.
