Distracted Driving Campaign
During the month of May, the Peterborough Police Service will have its “Eyes on the Road” to combat distracted driving.
The campaign will feature traffic and frontline officers conducting speed enforcement and watching for distracted drivers in not only high traffic volume areas as well as residential neighbourhoods.
“We know that traffic collisions cost society more, devastate families and cause more physical injury than all other crimes,” says Ryan Wilson, Traffic Sergeant, Peterborough Police Service. “It’s important for the public to know that officers are committed to ensuring our roads are as safe as possible.”
Residents can also report driving complaints through the Peterborough Police Service online reporting portal.
