Dufferin OPP worked to help ensure the safety of residents and visitors throughout Dufferin County over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Between October 9 and October 12th, officers conducted several R.I.D.E. spot checks and traffic enforcement initiatives, laying a total of 245 traffic-related charges. Enforcement efforts focused on the “Big Four” driving behaviours linked to serious injuries and fatalities: impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and lack of seatbelt use. These results highlight the continued importance of safe and responsible driving and the need for motorists to follow the rules of the road.
