The Police Traffic Personnel are an asset to the Police Department. The Traffic Police personnel are fortunate to follow a training course of this nature to develop their knowledge of traffic controlling. Police Traffic Division is a very important Department in the police service. The Traffic Police personnel should maintain the dignity of the Police Department while they are engaged in official duties. He was speaking at certificates distributing ceremony to 44 Traffic Police personnel, including three Women police personnel, who successfully followed a three months Junior Traffic Training Course conducted by the Police Traffic Headquarters.

IGP Balasuriya said they should put into practise what they learn from this course and educate the other Traffic Officers in their respective police stations.
