Calls to ‘roll out road check devices to all gardaí’

Frontline gardaí are calling for handheld devices, which enable officers to check the records of drivers at the roadside, to be provided nationally to members once a pilot project is completed.

The call by the Garda Representative Association follows a recommendation for a rollout of such devices by a jury in the inquest of a jogger killed in a hit-and-run by a disqualified driver.
