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 Saturday the 18th day of November 2023, I reported for duty at 8:00 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.  All members of the Transport Authority, and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly 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 Standing along Content in the parish of St. Elizabeth.  At about 11:03 am I observed a Toyota Hiace registration number PK4400 coming toward my direction I executed the number one signal to stop to which the driver complied and I approached. I cautioned the driver asked if he was operating to which he stated “yes,” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge, logbook and Drivers Licence.  Destination markings for Savanna-la-mar to Kingston route were on the front and back of the motor Truck. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Everton Williams of George Reid District, Hatfield, Manchester. He was wearing his prescribed uniform. There was no off-duty/chartered sign affixed. 
I asked about his badge to which it was borne out that he did not have a badge. I informed the driver of the steps to take to acquire a badge.  The driver produced his logbook which was not properly recorded in on page1626487 which was to be the page immediately following page 1626486 which he had the last record being the 15th day of November.
All documents received were found to be up to date. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for the offences of failure to wear Badge and fail to Record in Logbook.
Summonses was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the Black River Traffic Court on Thursday January 25, 2024. The summonses were read over to Mr. Williams who accepted and left.
