The officers were divid- ed equally amongst three Halton police districts to patrol in partnership with Halton officers. This was the fourth such collaborative effort to take place in the GTA this year by officers who work on Project E.R.A.S.E. (which aims to Eradicate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere). Previously, Halton officers have sup- ported York, Peel and the OPP by assisting them in similar projects in their ju- risdictions. Officers were supported by staff from the respective District Response Units whose job it is to target ag- gressive driving in Bur- lington, Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills. Charges included: • 2 vehicles seized for stunt driving • 2 drivers suspended for 7 days • 1 driver arrested and charged for impaired oper- ation • 82 Speeding charges • 8 distraction charges (holding/using a cell phone) • 53 equipment charges • 1 seatbelt charge • 17 warnings issued Halton police would like to publicly thank its GTA partners for working with us and continuing to com- bat illegal racing activity on the roads within the GTA. As with impaired driv- ers, it is important that our communities feel confi- dent to call the police and report illegal racing and dangerous operation of motor vehicles when they observe it. Each year a number of tragic incidents occur in the GTA where people lose their lives while engaging in illegal racing activities on public streets. Our message will remain, "If you want to race, take it to the track." The Halton Regional Po- lice Service remains com- mitted to road safety through prevention, edu- cation and enforcement initiatives. Members of the public are reminded that driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is a crime in progress and to call 9-1-1 immediately to re- port a suspected impaired driver. The Service's Twitter and Facebook accounts should not be used for this purpose as they are not monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
