Police sensitise Bartica motorists, tint shops on new tint regulations

Commander of Regional Police Division Seven, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dion Moore, on Thursday led a team of traffic ranks in a continued public awareness campaign aimed at sensitising motorists and vehicle owners on the legislative requirements governing the use of vehicular tint. The exercise was conducted in Bartica and saw the ranks engaging motorists, vehicle owners and tint shop owners within the township.

During the campaign, ACP Moore explained that motorists and vehicle owners were being sensitised on the tint regulations and the mandatory approval required for vehicles with tinted glass. He reminded us that from Tuesday, April 1, 2026, the new tint regulations are expected to be enforced in keeping with the recently enacted legislative requirements.
He further explained that persons whose vehicles currently exceed the approved tint level will be advised to make the necessary adjustments, while those already within the approved standard will be encouraged to remain compliant. The divisional team also engaged owners of tint shops in Bartica, where they were informed of the required tint levels for vehicles. They were provided with copies of the relevant legislation and were shown how the tint-testing apparatus is used so they can better guide customers during business transactions.
One tint shop owner, A Marslowe, expressed appreciation for the initiative and welcomed the effort by the Police to further educate motorists and business operators on the legal requirements. He noted that compliance remains an important part of his business operations and said his establishment will continue to guide persons accordingly. The campaign forms part of Regional Police Division Seven’s broader efforts to promote public awareness, legislative compliance and safer road use throughout the division.
