Aug 20, 2024 | 6:17 AM

Drivers in the Prince Albert area may notice an increased police presence Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Prince Albert Police Service is hosting a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) alongside partner agencies to identify traffic violations and take enforcement action.

The two-day initiative will take place at various locations around Prince Albert and officers will focus on offences related to speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt use, unlicensed drivers and commercial vehicle standards. Impaired driving enforcement will be a top priority.

STEP is a multi-agency task force dedicated to improving traffic safety across Saskatchewan. Members include municipal police agencies, the RCMP, Saskatchewan Highway Patrol, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Police, and representatives from SGI and the Ministries of Justice and Finance.
