Cabinet announced last week that it is supporting the Department of Transport with additional Transport Officers and vehicles for 24/7 patrols.
But, tonight the Ministry of Transportation is urging the public - especially those who want to work as transport officers - to pat the brakes because, quote, "while policy support has been granted, funding for this initiative has not yet been identified. As such, recruitment has not commenced at this time."
A release says "the Ministry is actively preparing the framework for implementation. This includes the development of clear eligibility criteria, training standards, and the requisite qualifications for prospective applicants."
The release adds that "once these preparatory processes are completed and funding is secured, the Ministry will formally notify the public and provide full details on application procedures and timelines."
