The St-Pierre-Jolys DART deployment consisted of RCMP officers from across the province deployed from their regular duties to target impaired drivers and other traffic infractions. During the three-day traffic blitz, RCMP DART members had strong results:
- 3 people charged with Impaired Driving
- 8 24-hour alcohol-related roadside suspensions
- 99 people charged with speeding under the Highway Traffic Act
- 22 people charged with not wearing seat belts
- 12 people charged with use of a handheld device
- 53 charges for various other Highway Traffic Act and Liquor and Gaming Control Act infractions
Safe roadways are a priority for the RCMP. If everyone takes a few seconds to make the smart choice before they put the keys in the ignition, many more people would make it home safely. Drive sober, buckle up and focus on the road.
The “D” Division Action Response Team (DART) is a crime-reduction strategy that involves leveraging RCMP resources to address specific emerging public safety issues. The RCMP is committed to preserving the peace and creating a safe environment for our communities.
