Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Monday the 15th day of November 2021 I reported for duty at 9:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon Mr. S. Holness was also present.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were appropriately attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were conducting a stop and inspection operation along Halse Hall in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 2:08 pm I observed a Toyota Coaster registration number PH4399 coming toward the direction to which I was standing. A police officer executed the number on signal to which the driver complied. I approached the said vehicle, introduced myself, cautioned the driver and requested he produce the vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Logbook, Badge and Drivers Licence. He provided all documents to me except for his driver’s badge. All documents received were found to be up to date.  There was no off duty/chartered sign affixed to the dashboard. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Shivron Maxwell of Grove Road, Mandeville, Manchester.
I counted 26 adult passengers present in the vehicle. He was wearing his prescribed uniform. However, he was not wearing his driver’s badge. Based on questioning he confirmed that he did not own a drivers badge.
 I informed him that he would be charged for the offence of failure to wear badge. I prepared a summons accordingly for the driver to appear before the Lionel Town Traffic Court on Friday January 28, 2022 to answer for the aforementioned offence. The summons was read over and served to Mr. Maxwell.  He accepted and left.
