With the Holiday season upon us, the Mission RCMP and most other Police agencies in the Lower Mainland area have stepped up road checks and media awareness for Impaired Driving. Following Police enforcement and presence this past weekend, here are some preliminary statistics:

Several roadblocks were initiated at varying locations
1383 vehicles checked
2 tickets for No driver's license
No vehicle insurance
150 grams illicit drugs seized
3 tickets for Drive Without Consideration
Drive Contrary to Restrictions
No "N" sign visible
3 Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP's) 90 day
34 Approved Screening Device test administered resulting in passes
1 Provincial Roadside Suspension for Drug Impairment
3 Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP's) 3 day
1 arrest for unendorsed warrant
4 tickets for cellular phone use while driving

2022-14147 - vehicle approached a road check south bound on the Mission bridge, turned around mid-span and drove the wrong way, presumably to avoid the check stop, ran into another check point heading to Maple Ridge. An attempt to stop the same vehicle resulted in plate recognition, WatchGuard video and driver/mugshot identification. File still under investigation at this time.
