Initiatives

The Smith Ennismore Community Policing Volunteers take part in several OPP and community initiatives throughout the year:

• Distracted Driving Campaign - September
• Fall Provincial Seatbelt Campaign - September to October
• Fall "Lock It or Lose It" - October
• Festive R.I.D.E Program - November to January
• Festive "Lock It or Lose It" - December  

Our goal of these initiatives is to create awareness through completion of surveys; whether for speeding, distracted drivers, and drivers not wearing their seatbelts. Also, our "lock It or Lose It" campaigns consist of checking for locked vehicles in parking lots to ensure that people are remembering to lock their vehicles when they are unattended.
