The Ivoirian authorities have announced that they will begin enforcing vehicle compliance for security agents from November 1. The operation, which is aimed at ensuring that security agents' private vehicles are properly registered and licensed, will be carried out by the General Directorate of Land Transport and Circulation (DGTTC). The move is part of an initiative launched by the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs to promote road safety and compliance with regulations.

The operation will focus on ensuring that security agents' vehicles have valid registration, licenses, and other necessary documents. The authorities aim to eliminate the circulation of vehicles with non-compliant or irregular plates. By doing so, they hope to promote a culture of compliance and respect for road safety regulations among security agents. The initiative also seeks to enhance the credibility and professionalism of the security forces.

According to the DGTTC, security agents will be required to regularize the administrative status of their vehicles by November 1. Failure to comply will result in sanctions, including fines, immobilization, and impounding of vehicles. The authorities have emphasized that no tolerance will be accorded to security agents whose vehicles are not in compliance. The move is seen as a significant step towards promoting accountability and transparency within the security sector.

The decision to enforce vehicle compliance for security agents follows concerns about the proliferation of unregistered and irregular vehicles on the roads. The authorities have expressed worry about the potential risks posed by such vehicles to road safety and national security. By taking this step, the government aims to demonstrate its commitment to upholding the law and promoting a culture of compliance.

The operation will be carried out in collaboration with the different hierarchies of security agents. The authorities have expressed confidence that the initiative will help to promote a culture of compliance and respect for regulations among security agents. They have also emphasized that the move is part of a broader effort to enhance the professionalism and credibility of the security forces.
