The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has stepped up its road safety efforts with the launch of a rebranded and strengthened ZRP National Highway Patrol unit, equipped with modern technology to curb reckless driving during the busy festive season.
Commissioner-General Stephen Mutamba officiated the deployment, commissioning five high-powered Double-Cab Ford Ranger vehicles that will support intensified patrols across major highways. The new fleet is already on the roads and will continue operating well beyond the holiday period.
The enhanced Highway Patrol team is expected to improve visibility, enforce traffic laws more effectively, and reduce road accidents—particularly during a season often marked by increased travel, speeding, and drunk driving.
The ZRP says the upgraded unit reflects its commitment to safer roads, better policing, and stronger public protection nationwide.
