“D” Division RCMP advises that the 2009 Christmas Checkstop program will commence  on Friday, December 4, 2009 and continue to Sunday, January 4, 2010.

All units of the RCMP in Manitoba will be participating in this program with the objective of keeping Manitoba citizens and our roads safe.  

The Christmas Checkstop Program remains a highly focused initiative of RSV2010 dedicated to specific traffic activities to improve public safety on our roadways and targeting “High Risk Drivers”. 

This year, the RCMP will focus on impaired drivers as well as those who fail to wear seatbelts. Enforcement will include detection at Checkstops across the Province and during regular patrol duties.

RSV2010 and the Christmas/New Year’s Checkstop program is fully supported by Assistant Commissioner Bill Robinson, Commanding Officer of “D” Division, so that everyone has a safe Christmas and a happy New Year.
