Busy Night for GSPS Drug Recognition Experts

Our Traffic Management unit Drug Recognition Experts were kept busy on 4/20 Day and into Wednesday morning after a total of four individuals were charged with driving while Impaired by Drug.

Of the approximately 200 vehicles stopped during the "Anywhere Anytime RIDE" spot check, Officers made one Impaired by Drug arrest and laid two Highway Traffic Act charges.

Then, overnight and into Wednesday morning, an additional three Impaired by Drug arrests were made thanks to Police being alerted by community members.

We wish to thank the community members who made the responsible and live-saving decision to call Police in regard to suspected impaired drivers. By doing so, you prevented a possible tragedy on our community roads.

We strongly encourage all community members to follow suit - if you see an impaired driver in progress, call 911. You could be saving a life!
