EMPD tip of the week

Motorists involved in a crash or accident must immediately stop and check if there are any injuries or damages to vehicles and assist if possible while waiting for en route EMPD members to record details.

If there are no injuries sustained and vehicles are not causing any obstruction on the roadway, both parties involved can go to the nearest EMPD precinct during weekdays (office hours) or at the police station to register the incident.
