Officers now adding an extra piece to their arsenal to make themselves more visible at night.

That addition is body lights, which were presented to the officers on Wednesday during the City of Johannesburg’s launch of a WhatsApp-based hotline which enabled motorists to report traffic violations by other road users.The body lights, with rechargeable batteries, will be worn by officers on patrol on top of their reflective vests to ensure they are more visible.

City of Johannesburg MMC for public safety Michael Sun said on Thursday the city had been looking for devices to ensure its officers were more visible at night. This following an incident last year during which a drunk motorist knocked over two officers. "The driver claimed he did not see the officers despite the fact that they were in full reflective gear. There were also other incidents where officers were knocked over when it was dark," Sun said.
