Operation Impact Returns as OPP Target Risky Driving Behaviours
OPP officers will target impaired, aggressive and distracted driving as 13 people died in roadway collisions in OPP jurisdictions last year.
- The Ontario Provincial Police is joining police services across Canada for Operation Impact, a four-day national traffic safety campaign led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police this Thanksgiving weekend.
- Over the past 10 years, Thanksgiving weekends have recorded the second-highest number of roadway fatalities among all long weekends in Ontario, with alcohol and drug use remaining leading factors in collisions.
- Officers will target high-risk behaviors including impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving while patrolling roads, trails, and waterways to prevent collisions and unsafe conduct.
- Throughout the Upper Ottawa Valley, UOV OPP officers will be highly visible during the long weekend, focusing on education and enforcement to ensure families reach Thanksgiving destinations safely.
- Anyone witnessing dangerous behavior should alert authorities via 911, as last year lives were lost in roadway collisions within OPP jurisdictions during the Thanksgiving period.
