Manitoba RCMP and Winnipeg police team up against impaired driving
On Friday both law enforcement groups announced their commitment to patrolling areas in and around Winnipeg ahead of National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day on Saturday.
“In RCMP jurisdiction this year, there have been 1,396 impaired drivers taken off the road,” said Insp. Joe Telus, officer in charge of traffic services for the Manitoba RCMP. “Impaired driving has caused 15 deaths in our area this year. People are not coming home because of someone’s choice to drive impaired, and that is not right in any way, shape or form. We are going to be out on the roadways tomorrow, and every day, with the goal of getting everyone home safely.”
