The campaign will see all operational Saps vehicles being driven with the emergency warning blue lights switched on to enhance and heighten police visibility from sunset to sunrise (6pm-6am).
This concept aims to prevent and combat a host of crimes, including gender-based violence, aggravated robberies such as carjacking, business and residential robberies commonly known as trio crimes, as well as tracing of wanted suspects and the proliferation of firearms.
