The Committee identified the improper use of the after-hours trip authorisation to operate state-owned vehicles as the cause of the misuse of the police vehicles. In this regard, the Committee discovered that after-hours trip authorisation was being left open in the afternoon, and thus the vehicles were utilised by everyone without signing for them. The Committee also noticed that no police members referred to the AVLS (Vehicle Tracking System) as a vehicle control measure and that implied that police vehicles were being potentially misused.
