(TECUMSEH, ON) - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have identified an area to target focused patrols.

Over the next few weeks, members of the Tecumseh Detachment will increase patrols around Arlington Boulevard in the Town of Tecumseh. The OPP has heard the concerns of residents in the area about speeding, failing to stop at stop signs, as well as aggressive and stunt driving.

Over the course of the focused patrols, officers will conduct traffic stops for various violations under the Highway Traffic Act including, but not limited to:

  • Speeding
  • Disobey stop sign - fail to stop
  • Unnecessary noise
  • Stunt driving

Stunt and aggressive driving, including speeding and not stopping at traffic control signs and signals, poses a significant threat to everyone on the road: drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Every time someone engages in dangerous driving, they risk not only their own life but the lives of countless others.
