A detailed risk assessment of the location of a speed checkpoint must be now carried out if a garda is to conduct one alone.
An Garda Síochána has also directed all gardaí, up to the rank of inspector, to undergo a new “out-of-vehicle” safety course, which trains officers on what to do when they leave their vehicles.
