South Simcoe Police Daily News Release – 02Dec2016

Festive R.I.D.E.　

(Innisfil, ON) South Simcoe Police were out conducting R.I.D.E. on Thursday, December 1, 2016 in a number of locations in Innisfil. Coupled with last night’s impaired driving arrests, these R.I.D.E. results are very disappointing. Officers are discouraged that drivers are still making the wrong decision and driving under the influence when there are so many other options available. Call a cab, stay the night, have a designated driver or take public transit.
