RCMP presence will be noticeable this Victoria Day long weekend
REDCLIFF, AB – Heading into the Victoria Day long weekend, Redcliff RCMP say their number one commitment is ensuring public safety.
“On the highways, we’re going to look at four-different main factors,” explained Corporal Shane Ryan. “Impaired driving, we want to keep that to a minimum and reduce it if at all possible. Distracted driving is another leading cause of deaths in the province. We’re going to ensure people are wearing their seat-belts, so if they do end up in an accident they’re safe and we want to ensure people are maintaining a decent speed for the road conditions.”
Generally, Ryan says long weekends are busy for the RCMP.
