Lodge accident reports at any police stations come November
GENTING, July 28 From November, motorists involved in accidents can lodge reports at any police station. This is because all police stations nationwide would be linked to the online Police Reporting System.
According to the Star Online, Deputy Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said with the new system, general policemen at any police stations can conduct the initial investigation.
They can take down the accident particulars, snap photographs of the damaged vehicle and other necessary records before submitting it online, he said, adding the new initiatives would greatly improve their delivery system.
Motorists would also be able to apply for photographs and sketches of where and how the accident took place via online and choose the preferred police station they wish to collect the documents from.
Khalid said that at the moment all police stations can accept police reports on traffic matters and accidents, but this was done manually and the hard copy was either sent or faxed to the respective traffic police centre before investigations can start.
Khalid said this after witnessing the closing ceremony of the three-day Traffic Police Investigation Application Workshop in Genting Highlands today.
