Traffic enforcement officers are hitting the streets this week for a two day blitz on impaired drivers province wide.

With the holiday season upon us, local police and RCMP with the support of SGI are conducting Operation Overdrive until tomorrow.

 

"Last year alone there were more than 1400 alcohol related collisions causing 750 injuries and 69 deaths province-wide. So its a very serious problem, the main focus is impaired driving but other infractions police see they wont hesitate to issue a warning or give you a ticket if it apply's."explains Kelley Brinkworth, SGI Spokesperson. 

 

SGI is providing some extra funding so that police can work overtime and have the man-power to go along with it.
