Cash for the RIDE

The province has given Peel Regional Police $28,500 for the RIDE program.
Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) is aimed at public awareness and enforcement of drunk driving laws.
“We’re giving police the tools and resources they need to protect Ontarians from the danger on our roads,” said Brampton West-Mississauga MPP Vic Dhillon. “The Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere program has a history of success and our government is committed to supporting RIDE programs.”
Peel Regional Police Service Board was one of 172 municipal police services and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments across the province to receive RIDE funds for 2006-07. The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provides $1.2 million to municipalities annually for RIDE program activities.
