Operation Impact

Operation Impact ran over the long weekend from October 11 to October 14, 2013. During this initiative, police were looking to enforce aggressive driving, distracted driving, seatbelt and impaired driving offences. Over the four days, 42 aggressive driving charges, 64 distracted driving charges and 26 seatbelt charges were laid. Over the weekend, Guelph Police did not have any serious collisions or impaired driver investigation’s to deal with.

Operation impact is a national campaign to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world. This initiative was strategically chosen, as it is a significant long weekend. More people are traveling and traffic crashes are more frequent. Police services from all across Canada were invited to participate.
