The national police service says the 777 unit will resume full operations this week after it was shut down for almost a year.
The police spokesperson, Brigadier Daniel Justin, said the emergency unit was shut down last year because most of their vehicles had broken down.
“The minister of Interior took a step to take the vehicles for maintenance, and almost all of them are out,” Brig Justin told Eye Radio Monday.
However, he said the unit is also still facing a challenge of using streets that have not named.
He said this makes it difficult to respond to emergency calls, because the patrol units cannot locate the specific area; the police service will work with the Juba City Council to name the streets.
