The Halton Regional Police Service has concluded Project ‘Safe Start’ with the following results:

Oakville 717 Provincial Offence Notices Issued 387 Warnings
Burlington 579 Provincial Offence Notices Issued 258 Warnings
Project ‘Safe Start’ began in 2006, as a highly visible reminder to drivers that children are back to school and they need to slow down in and around school zones, watch for pedestrians and pay attention to school crossing guards escorting children across busy intersections.
District Response units, Uniform Patrol officers, Education Services and Senior Command officers took part in the campaign that commenced September 1st and ended September 16th.
“We all have a responsibility for contributing to community safety. The Halton Regional Police are committed to addressing traffic issues through a strategy of education and enforcement which remains as one of our top policing priorities.” said Deputy Chief Bob Percy.
