www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, November 10, 2016 | 2 Police release PSA on driving safety for Crime Prevention Week Halton police are getting involved in Crime Prevention Week (Nov. 6-12) by making public appeals about driving safety. The service has produced a public service announcement to raise awareness about distracted driving. The sobering 30-second video about the potentially tragic consequences of distracted driving is available at https://youtu.be/ IO0jun2GZpQ. It also will be showcased in local movie theatres throughout Crime Prevention Week. The idea for the video was developed via input from of one of the officers in Halton police's Collision Reconstruction Unit, who has been responding to motor vehicle fatalities for years. He noted a common experience when responding to an emergency call is the messages received on victims' phones during initial investigation. He described the impact on an investigator who knows the loved one sending those messages is unaware of the situation and will soon have to be notified that the person died in a traffic collision. Halton police say residents continue to identify traffic safety as a priority. Officers will focus on distracted, aggressive and impaired driving. "If you observe a vehicle being operated in a manner that places you or anyone else in danger, please call 911," said Halton police Deputy Chief Nishan Duraiappah. ".... As a professional racecar driver, safety comes first when I am on the track and on the roads.... As (an) honourary police officer, I am proud to announce the PSA about distracted driving will be featured during Crime Prevention Week," said IndyCar winner, Dancing with the Stars contestant and Oakville resident James Hinchcliffe. Police are asking the public to relay traffic stories or ask crime prevention and traffic safety questions through the service's Twitter accounts (use hashtag #CrimePreventionWeek).
