Toronto Police Service – Distracted Driving Campaign, Monday, January 14, 2019, to Sunday, January 20, 2019,

On Tuesday, January 1, 2019, Ontario's penalties for distracted driving significantly increased upon conviction. Click HERE for full penalties.

Starting on Monday, January 14, 2019, the Toronto Police Service will begin an aggressive zero tolerance enforcement and awareness campaign focused on drivers operating a motor vehicle while using a hand-held communication or entertainment device (cell phone).

We know that road safety and distracted driving is not something that enforcement alone can solve. Distracted Driving is a behaviour issue and can only improve when we collectively make changes to how we drive.

To drivers who think that they can hide their use of a hand-held device by simply holding it down or out of plain sight from police, we have a message. Toronto Police Officers will be utilizing all types of vehicles and tactics during this campaign to look for distracted drivers.

Officers will be on foot, bicycles, patrol vehicles, unmarked vehicles and on TTC buses and streetcars watching for distracted drivers.

The Toronto Police Service and its members are committed to improving road safety, supporting victims and families of traffic crimes and to Toronto’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.

On Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 3 p.m., the 55 Division Community Response Unit will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the ProAction Hockey League.

Officers from 55 Division, who coach and mentor the youth, have seen the program grow from 64 to 148 kids, many of whom would never have had the opportunity to play hockey because of the high cost of the ice time, equipment and league costs.

ProAction Cops & Kids is a non-profit agency that provides funding for programs that connect police officers with young people.

Officers, community members and special guests will be joining in the festivities at 3 p.m., before the puck drops at 3:30 p.m., at the Angela James Arena at 165 Grenoble Dr.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter @TPS55div and @TPSVicentino prior to the event for any updates.
