Halton police have laid 447 alcohol-related charges and issued 167 roadside suspensions this year, which, according to police, is a number that is much too high. This weekend, officers will join with MADD Canada representatives visit bars and restaurants throughout Milton and Halton Hills, and will be implementing volunteer breathalyzers to bring about awareness to the weekend campaign. Patrons will be provided with information pertaining to legislation changes that took effect October 2 that extends license suspensions, vehicle impoundment and remedial measures to those found driving while impaired by drugs. Sergeant Paul Ruddle, of the Halton Hills Police Department, joins the Kelly Cutrara Show to discuss the weekend campaign, and what they hope to achieve.
