Are Fuel Costs Constraining Police Patrols?

But is the surge in fuel prices causing a slowdown in police operations? Like many government departments, they operate on fuel quotas.

We asked the CEO how it is affecting them operationally:

Elton Bennett, CEO - Ministry of Home Affairs
"It's the rising cost of fuel is impacting all of us. You in the media, in the security service across government and the delivery of goods. Everyone is being impacted by the rising costs, of fuel. So it's something that would require us to go back to the drawing table to redesign our operations, to ensure that we take into consideration, the rising cost of fuel so that we can plan our operations better."
