PAPS adds motorcycle unit to combat distracted drivers
An addition to the Prince Albert Police Service’s (PAPS) fleet is expected to bolster road safety efforts across the province and enhance community engagement.
Through a partnership with Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) added a new motorcycle to its fleet.
According to the police service, motorcycles are very effective at spotting distracted drivers compared to traditional police cars thanks to their agility and ability to move through traffic.
Data from CTSS shows that between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of tickets issued annually by RCMP CTSS in the province are attributed to the RCMP’s six-motorcycle squad.
