LOCAL R.I.D.E. Program statistics
The R.I.D.E. Program (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) originated in 1977 in Etobicoke, Ontario as a community policing effort to address public concern about drinking and driving. Now, over 30 years later, the campaign continues to be an important tool for police nationwide. Although these programs run year-round, they are highlighted during the holidays to encourage sober driving. These spot checks are an important part of our commitment to keep our roads safe and MADD London usually sponsors at least two of the many R.I.D.E. programs the London Police hold during the year. During these times our volunteers hand out information packages to sober drivers. LONDON POLICE
The London Police have provided us with the impaired driving statistics for the last five years. You will notice that they are continuing the trend of being much more aggressive in the program--doing more spot checks and arresting more drivers. We applaud the London Police for their efforts in helping to stop impaired driving.
