Toronto Police 22 Division Sgt. Lhawang Jongdong and Const. Rodney Draheim set up on Bloor St. W., to take part in a city-wide traffic initiative that runs from February to May 2020. The initiative that was brought forward by Supt. Neil Corrigan and Insp. Tim Crone, will have one officer dedicated to traffic enforcement from each primary response platoon. There will also be a dedicated back-up officer.
Police say the strategic deployment will use data to identify problem areas of the community and units will be hitting the streets at specific times.
Police said the initiative will target aggressive driving and speeding and is in line with the Mayor’s “Vision Zero” program, which aims at eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways.
Officers will also take the time to educate drivers on the rules of the road in addition to enforcement.
