Wayland Police will participate in Route 20 traffic enforcement program. How it works
Route 20 stretches from Massachusetts to Oregon. This week, the Wayland Police Department will join other police departments from several states in a targeted traffic enforcement mobilization. Wayland Police Chief Ed Burman told the Daily News that the department will participate in the Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project on Wednesday, July 16. 'It's a big enforcement day along Route 20 in 12 states, and it's designed to target speeders,' Burman said. This is the fourth mobilization this year — there are future events on Sept. 17 and Nov. 19. Wayland has been a participant for two years. The program was created by the Iowa State Patrol. It's designed to be a collaborative effort between local and state police to help promote traffic safety and reduce crashes on the often-busy Route 20. In Auburn and Oregon: Route 20 crackdown's mission is to educate, save lives Burman said he plans on having a patrol cruiser specifically working on Route 20 on July 16, targeting speeders. The Massachusetts State Police also plan on having extra patrols in several communities. Burman pointed out that Route 20 is a busy road in town and the site of many crashes, some serious. Burman said the amount of time the officer patrols Route 20 on Wednesday will be determined by how busy it is that day. 'It's a big cut-through for a lot of drivers,' said Burman. 'By upping the enforcement, hopefully it help reduces the number of crashes we have.'

South Africa's Ramaphosa removes police minister over criminal link allegations
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa placed police minister Senzo Mchunu on immediate leave of absence on Sunday, following accusations by a top police official that he had colluded with a criminal syndicate and interfered in high-profile investigations. Mchunu denied the allegations by Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, police commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal province, at a media briefing last Sunday. He said the accusations were baseless and in a statement issued by his spokesperson last week said he was committed to upholding the rule of law. Ramaphosa, whose rise to the highest office was built on promises to fight corruption, has been under pressure to act swiftly as political parties and citizens said the allegations called into question the integrity of the criminal justice system. Investors have for years expressed concern over rampant crime that the World Bank estimates costs South Africa an estimated 10% of gross domestic product each year. CNN's David McKenzie rides along with private security in Johannesburg, as hijackings and heists in South Africa reach record highs 'These allegations therefore call for an urgent and comprehensive investigation,' Ramaphosa said in a public address which was carried by the public broadcaster and private TV stations, adding he would establish a judicial commission of inquiry for this purpose. Ramaphosa said he will appoint law professor Firoz Cachalia as acting minister of police. Mchunu is a senior figure in Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC) party, and political analysts have said he could run for a leadership position at the ANC's next elective conference in 2027. Citing digital evidence such as WhatsApp messages, Mkhwanazi's allegations included that Mchunu had disbanded a police unit tasked with investigating politically motivated killings to protect politicians, police officers and other people linked to a criminal syndicate. Mkhwanazi said more than 100 case files were taken away from the political killings task team and have not been investigated further since. The Democratic Alliance party, the ANC's main coalition partner, called for a parliamentary inquiry into the allegations against Mchunu. At least one opposition party has called for his suspension.
