City Partners with Peel Regional Police to Increase Community Safety While Reducing Speeding and Vehicle Noise

Leave a comment

This past week, Enforcement Officers from the City of Mississauga supported Peel Regional Police under Project Noisemaker and Eliminate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere (E.R.A.S.E.) enforcing vehicle noise violations, street racing and gathering violations of the Reopening Ontario Act. Twenty-three tickets ($880) were issued for COVID-19 gathering violations and four tickets ($385) were issued for vehicle noise. Police also laid thirty-six Highway Traffic Act (HTA) charges related to speeding and dangerous driving.

“I applaud the efforts of our City of Mississauga Enforcement Officers supporting Peel Regional Police in Project Noisemaker & E.R.A.S.E. enforcing to make our City safe,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “The enforcement of these activities in our retail areas improves the safety and quality of life for all. This is especially important during the pandemic when gathering in large numbers presents a risk for everyone. We can’t afford to take chances during our recovery from the pandemic. It is my hope the news of these charges and fines travels and raises awareness that these activities will not be tolerated or ignored in our City and they come with consequences.”

Ready, Set, Hut! Police Ready to Sack Impaired Drivers This Weekend

Leave a comment

Region of Peel – Reducing Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) focuses on detecting and removing those individuals from our roads who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Peel Regional Police conduct R.I.D.E. enforcement throughout the year and maintain a zero-tolerance policy with respect to impaired driving related offences.

Peel Regional Police Road Safety Services will be conducting Superbowl weekend R.I.D.E on February 3 and 4, 2018. Peel Regional Police would like everyone to enjoy a safe Superbowl weekend and celebrate responsibly.

If you plan on drinking alcohol:

  • Be responsible
  • Sometimes even the designated driver slips. If nobody in your group is sober, it has never been easier to arrange for another mode of transportation.
  • Choose a designated driver. Decide who’s going to be doing the driving before you go out, and make sure that person doesn’t drink any alcoholic beverages.

Impaired driving is no accident. In Canada, it is one of the leading causes of death on our roads that can be easily avoided by planning ahead.

If you suspect that someone is operating a motor vehicle while impaired, call 9-1-1 when safe to do so.

Peel Regional Police would like to remind everyone that road safety is a shared responsibility. Please think before you drink and drive. It is not worth risking your life or the life of another person.

Peel Regional Police are counting on you to do the right thing.  If you’ve had too much to drink, use a designated driver, call a cab, call a sober friend, or use public transit.  If you see a driver you think might be impaired, call 9-1-1 and help us take that driver off the road.

If you believe an intoxicated individual is about to drive, and cannot be dissuaded from doing so, Peel Regional Police urge you to immediately call 9-1-1.

Road safety is a shared responsibility and, by working together, we can continue to make our roadways safer for everyone.
