OPP hit the road for the long weekend

8/31/2012

OPP will be out in full force on the last long weekend of the summer.

On the highways, cops are keeping an eye out for drunk, distracted & aggressive drivers.  They'll also be checking that everyone is buckled up.

OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis says 2012 has been a bad year so far for deaths on Ontario's roads & highways.  There've been over 230 deaths on OPP-patrolled roads so far this year, compared to 195 during the same period last year.

Over the Labour Day weekend, police will also be patrolling Ontario waterways, checking for lifejackets & looking for drunk boaters.
