Kuwait security and traffic enforcement campaigns

Overview

Kuwaiti security and traffic authorities have conducted extensive field campaigns across various governorates to enforce law and order.

Initial operations across all governorates resulted in over 28,000 traffic violations, the detention of 43 reckless drivers, and the impounding of hundreds of vehicles. These efforts also led to the arrest of 19 security fugitives and 25 expatriates with expired residency.

Subsequent large-scale joint operations in the Khaitan area, coordinated by the Farwaniya Governorate security directorate, expanded the scope of enforcement. These actions resulted in 693 seizures and legal actions, including the detention of individuals wanted for absconding, expired residency, or involvement in drug-related offenses and theft. The campaigns also involved multiple regulatory bodies, leading to building law violations, the closure of facilities by the Kuwait Fire Force, and various labor, environmental, and commercial infractions.
