Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services, in partnership with Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), will host the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) in North Battleford on July 23-24.
This project will contribute to the Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services' mandate of "ensuring public safety on our roadways and in our communities." This will be accomplished through partnering with other agencies and focusing on priorities such as impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and occupant restraints.
Other police and municipal agencies from across the province will also be in attendance so residents in the Battlefords area can expect to see an increased police presence during those two days.
"We want to keep our roads safe – that is our main focus. We will continue to take every opportunity to work with our partners and make sure we can do just that," Sgt. Doug MacDougall of Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services says.
Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services continue to work diligently to keep our roads and communities safe. We need the help of the public in achieving this goal and we thank the people of Saskatchewan for their support and cooperation. We encourage anyone who witnesses impaired driving or aggressive driving to phone their local police detachment or dial 9-1-1 when it's safe to do so.
