White Rock RCMP officers Cpl. Luc Lamoureux and Cst. Ravnit Sandhu both received Gold recognition from the National Impaired Driving Recognition Program. Cpl. Lamoureux removed 24 impaired drivers from the streets of White Rock in a calendar year, while Cst. Sandhu removed 27 impaired drivers. Gold recognition was issued to officers who removed 24 or more impaired drivers.

“With the amount of education and available methods for getting home safely it is truly shocking to see the number of drivers who consume alcohol and/or controlled substances and choose to drive. White Rock RCMP officers are dedicated to public safety will continue to be proactive removing impaired drivers from our streets”, says Cst. Chantal Sears.

Despite updated legislation and increasingly severe judicial measures, impaired driving remains the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. Necessary steps in reducing the negative impact of impaired drivers include the detection of these drivers and intervention by law enforcement officers.

If you observe an impaired driver, call 9-1-1 and provide location and vehicle details to police.
