News - Checkstop

Manitoba RCMP, along with the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), have released the results of the 2023 Holiday Checkstop Program. The program took place from December 1, 2023, through January 1, 2024.

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) and the Manitoba RCMP have joined forces to launch the 2023 holiday Checkstop program. While road safety is top of mind for police throughout the year, the increase in travellers, particularly those who are out celebrating the season, is one of the reasons that enforcement like Checkstops is necessary.
