OPP ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE RESULTS IN MULTIPLE SUSPENSIONS AND CHARGES AT SANDBANKS

(PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, ON) - Members of the Prince Edward County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), in partnership with the OPP Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement (TIME) Team, OPP Marine Unit, and park wardens, conducted a series of enforcement initiatives at Sandbanks Provincial Park during the annual "Skip Weekend."

Through multiple RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) programs and proactive patrols, approximately 900 vehicles were checked, resulting in numerous enforcement actions.

As a result:

Multiple seven-day driver's licence suspensions were issued for alcohol-related offences, including warn-range readings and novice drivers registering blood alcohol concentrations above zero.
Two individuals were arrested for impaired driving. Both were later released, and licence suspensions were imposed.
Officers seized significant quantities of alcohol from individuals under the age of 19. In several instances, the alcohol was located inside vehicles while they were being operated, leading to charges under the Liquor Licence and Control Act.
Charges were also laid for having cannabis readily available within a vehicle.

Police also responded to several incidents during the enforcement period, including a youth requiring medical attention after consuming alcohol and cannabis, a stolen vehicle investigation that resulted in an arrest, and multiple traffic-related occurrences that led to additional charges and warnings.

The OPP reminds all motorists that enforcement efforts will continue, and there is zero tolerance for impaired or unsafe driving.

PTSD doesn’t have a single face.

When most people think of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, they picture veterans and first responders.
While that is a deep reality, PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event—such as a serious accident, a natural disaster, a sudden loss, or personal violence.

If you or someone you love is navigating the aftermath of trauma, please know you don't have to carry it alone. Reaching out for help is the bravest first step.
