Over the long weekend the Prince Albert Police Service promoted and enforced safe driving in Operation Impact, which is a national campaign to educate the public on bad driving habits.

According to a media release from the Prince Albert Police Service, some of the bad driving habits include drunk driving, and aggressive driving.

The Combined Traffic Safety Services Unit (CTSS) during the campaign from Oct. 11 to 14 gave out 98 tickets, seized a sawed-off gun, and issued three criminal code charges.

In the four-day Operation Impact campaign they put on a traffic safety blitz, directed roaming patrols, and partnered to organize two stop checks in P.A. with Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

The PAPS Bylaw Unit also participated in Operation Impact where they patrolled parts of the community giving out four tickets and seizing one vehicle.
