Prince Rupert RCMP to continue with Road Safety focus into December

Dangerous driving, speeding and using electronic devices while driving will be at the top of the list for member of the Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP, as Canada's Road Safety Week launches on Thursday and continues until December 7th.

Additional members will be on the streets on December 3rd watching for impaired drivers as the local detachment joins others in the province in participation with National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day.

The extra attention comes as the annual holiday period approaches which also sees an increase in Counter Attack enforcement by police services across B.C.

In Prince Rupert, if you see a dangerous driver you can contact the RCMP and report the motorist  at 250-627-0700 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
