The Durham Regional Police force will be continuing our roving spot check units and adding specifically designated "RIDE" enforcement officers. As the holiday season is a time for family and friends to unite and enjoy we must be ever mindful that the citizens of this community deserve the safest roads we can provi de. To this end the Durham Regional Police force will increase our regular spot checks for the coming weeks. Our force, like other area Forces, has been provided wvith provincial government funding directly for the operation of the "RIDE" program. We are therefore able to boister the existing manpower with 'more frequent use of our spot check offi cers. Keeping the impaired dr-ivers from using our roaidways will benefit the citizens we serve throughout Durham region.
