Operation Impact

Friday, 9 October 2015 at 14:21

Woodstock Police will be out in Full Force this weekend with Operation Impact.

WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police are launching Operation Impact this long weekend as they look to make our roads as safe as possible.

Police will be out in full force targeting the big four, distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding and not wearing a seatbelt. The initiative is designed to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways.

"The deaths, pain and broken hearts that result from carelessness behind the wheel can be prevented, says Chief Renton of the Woodstock Police Service. Police agencies across the country are collaborating on this project because they have seen more than enough of that, and because they know that the involvement of the driving public is essential to achieve safer streets and highways."

This initiative was chosen for the Thanksgiving long weekend because more people are travelling and traffic crashes are more frequent.

Chief Renton says "Right here in Woodstock, we have seen death and serious injury related to vehicle collisions. Any injury or death is unacceptable to the Woodstock Police Service and that is why we will continue to support Operation Impact."  

Woodstock Police will have high visibility this weekend and the community will see R.I.D.E programs set up as well.
