Police check 30 trucks: Security in the Ennepe-Ruhr district in focus!

Stefansbecke, Sprockhövel, Deutschland - Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis / Sprockhövel-alarm level red for truck drivers! As part of the spectacular roadpol action week "Truck & Bus", the emergency services of the district police authority of the Ennepe-Ruhr district carried out a large-scale check in the area of Stefansbecke on Thursday morning. Over 20 police officers were on site with six emergency vehicles to make the streets safer!

A total of around 30 trucks were put through their paces. The police did not accept any excuse! "This morning we also use many uniformed powers of our guards in the north and south district of the Ennepe-Ruhr district through our experienced forces of the transport service to continue the truck," explained PhK Schmidt. The drivers were mostly cooperative, but in some conversations the translator app on the smartphones helped to overcome language barriers.

strict controls and consequences

The control was not only a routine check, but also an important training for the young police officers. Digital tripwriters and driver cards were evaluated meticulously, the load securing was checked and compliance with social regulations for the drivers were checked. At the end of the lasting campaign, three administrative offenses and eight warning funds were imposed. A clear indication that the police do not compromise when it comes to security on the streets!

roadpol, the European Network for Transport Police, has set itself the goal of drastically reducing the number of road dead and seriously injured in Europe. Such controls make an important contribution to traffic safety. The message is clear: if you don't stick to the rules, you have to expect consequences!
