Charlottetown, PEI — The Prince Edward Island RCMP were honoured to participate in Friday’s MADD Canada Impaired Driving Enforcement Awards, an event recognizing law enforcement officers for their dedication to removing impaired drivers from PEI roadways and keeping the public safe.
At this year’s ceremony, 11 PEI RCMP officers were formally recognized for their outstanding work addressing impaired driving across the province. This included seven Bronze Award recipients, three Silver Award recipients, and one Gold Award recipient, reflecting a high level of commitment and proactive enforcement by members throughout the year.
“These awards highlight the daily efforts of our officers, often carried out quietly and without recognition, to prevent impaired driving and the tragic consequences that can result. Congratulations to all the recipients from all the PEI police agencies, keeping PEI roads safe is a shared responsibility.” said Chief Superintendent Kevin Lewis the Commanding Officer for the PEI RCMP. “We are proud of every officer recognized and grateful to MADD Canada for their continued partnership and advocacy.”
In a striking example of how critical this work is, one of the award recipients, identified and stopped an impaired driver just one hour after the MADD event at 1:40 p.m. in Souris.
“Impaired driving remains a serious risk on our roads, and proactive policing efforts continue to save lives.” Lewis added.
The PEI RCMP extend their sincere thanks to MADD Canada for acknowledging the efforts of officers and for their commitment to victim support, public education, and the prevention of impaired driving.
The RCMP remind all motorists that impaired driving is 100% preventable. If you plan to consume alcohol or drugs, plan ahead for a safe ride home. The decision you make can save lives—possibly your own.
