The statement noted that the officers are expected to man specified hot spots, exit and entry routes as well as crowded places.
The CP also ordered officers to strengthen enforcement of ban on the use of Spy Number plates by the Inspector General of Police and warned that only vehicles with factory fitted tinted glasses would be allowed to ply the roads.
The statement also directed drivers who create tinted glasses to remove the tint material as enforcement will not spare any person.
The commissioner further advised the officers carrying out the duties to be cautious and very professional.
