DPS: Employees should have ID during curfew hours

The CNMI Department of Public Safety has noticed a slight increase in vehicles driving through the roadways claiming that they are heading to or from work during curfew hours.

To better aid officers in on-the-spot verification, DPS is asking businesses who are operating during the curfew hours to have employees carry their work identification as they are making their way between work and home. Businesses are asked to provide a point of contact that is reachable between the hours of 7pm and 6am to validate employees who are on the road due to work schedules.

DPS will continue to conduct mandatory traffic stops on vehicles on the island’s roads during curfew hours. 

DPS asks the public for their patience during this sensitive time. As part of the Governor’s COVID-19 Task Force, and in consultation with the public health advice from the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp., DPS will continue to join CNMI efforts in protecting the health and safety of the residents of the Marianas. (PR)
