Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) yesterday issued a call to residents asking them to suggest what type of enforcement the community would like to see the officers perform.
The call was issued by DRPS West Division during their continuing proactive patrols in Ajax and Pickering.
“We are reminding drivers that tinted plate covers carry a $110 dollar fine. This driver was charged [image above], said police.
Vehicle taken off the road: Meanwhile, East Divison officers took a vehicle off the roads following a stop on King Street West and Roenigk Drive in Bowmanville, Clarington.
Motor vehicle taken off the roadway due to being unsafe: Defective brakes, no muffler, improper tires, no mudguards, modified headlamps and unnecessary noise,” said police.
871 tickets in one week: This past week, DRPS East Division officers held an ‘in The Zone’ initiative as children headed back to school from March Break.
Over the five-day initiative, 871 tickets were issued, ranging from bylaw infractions to failing to stop for a school bus.
481 tickets: Last week North Division officers conducted an ‘In the Zone’, back to school safety initiative.
They issued 481 tickets, 47 cautions, 5 suspensions and 1 stunt driving charge.
North Division traffic conducted enforcement in Seagrave, Scugog, yesterday morning.
Please obey the speed limit, they said.
