CORPORAL DON HARRISON (#10 DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS, PERTH) DISTRICT R.I.D.E. TEAM SUPERVISOR- 0.P.P. APPOINT DISTRICT R.I.D.E. TEAM In conjuction with a recent Provincial Government initiative to reduce the number of impaired drivers on our highways, the Ontario Provincial Police will be assigning 96 officers, working ,as 16 teams, to combat the problem of impaired driving on a year round basis in the O.P.P's jurisdiction within the Province. No. 10 District with it's headquarters based in Perth, is responsible for poiicing the areas not otherwrse‘w‘ “policed” - " by municipal forces in the Counties1 of Lanark, Renfrew, Leeds and Grenville, as well as parts of Nipising and including the Towns of Almonte land Arnprior.six (6) uniformed police officers have been selected from within the district to create the newly formed R.I.D.E. Team Supervising this team is Corporal Don HARRISON, a 13 year‘ veteran recently promoted and transferred from Westport Detachment. Provincial Constable Bill MEIGHEN will be transferred Renfrew, Constable Gord TRIMBLE will be transferred from Kemptville, Constable Scott MOORE will be transferred from Prescott,Constable Randy HAYES will be transferred from Brockville and Constable Wayne Pickett, formerly from Perth, will be transferred from O.P.P. Academy in Brampton, totalling in excess of 60 years policing experience, to augment this special team, which will be under the guidance of Staff Sergeant Fred KNAPP, District Traffic and 6:9 am, , M ,4. Marine Supervisor. The District R I.D.E. Team's primary purpose will be to discourage impaired driving by high profile visibility in conjunction with enforcement, with the ultimate goal of reducing alcohol related accidents. In No. 10 District in 1988, officers have investigated nine (9) fatal accidents which took the lives of ten (10) people. Alcohol was involved in four (4) of the nine fatalities investigated. 5.9% of all accidents investigated in the'district since January 1988, indicated that the driver had been drinking. The R.I.D.E. Team is already in operation and will be conducting random vehicle checks, at various locations throughout the entire district. These locations will be determined by accident statistics, detachment problem areas and special events. In addition to the ongoing R.I.D.E. program already being conducted on a year round basis by regular detachment personnel in No. 10 District, this new R.I.D.E. Team will utilize three specially equipped police vehicles. Each vehicle will have a portable roadside screening device on board and will have a special sign on the roof indicating R.I.D.E. Each officer will wear a flourescent orange vest, a universal symbol for traffic safety. We sincerely hope that with this R.I.D.E. incentive, impaired driving eventually will become a thing of the past in No. 10 District. O.P.P, cutcxsme.
