This will involve using intelligence, video recordings, and other evidence to identify violations such as dangerous riding and speeding.

They are not places for irresponsible behavior or dangerous stunts," he explained. The JSPT's enforcement approach prioritizes public safety in accordance with departmental leadership directives.
