The previous week, police had charged 10 individuals with impaired driving offences from Dec. 8 to 13.
City police started reporting the names of people charged with impaired driving offences in hopes of deterring others from getting behind the wheel impaired by drugs or alcohol. The initiative was formally announced by police on Dec. 2 as an extra layer of enforcement during the annual festive RIDE program which runs from Dec. 2 to Jan. 1, 2021.
Police are also reminding the public if they see suspected impaired driving in progress to call 911.
