On Friday, September 6, 2013, police officers from the Toronto Police College and 54 Division, along with students from Cosburn Middle School, will be targeting speeders along Cosburn Avenue, west of Coxwell Avenue between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Traffic and pedestrian safety are priorities of the Toronto Police Service. As part of the "Back-to-School" campaign, the TPS has partnered with the Toronto District School Board, students and residents in the community.
The purpose of the program is to bring greater awareness to drivers that excessive speed in a school zone has an effect on the school community. In addition, it will empower the participating students by giving them the opportunity to take ownership of their community and change the driving habits of motorists in their school's area.
The offending drivers' speed will be measured by a radar unit operated by officers and the speed will be compared with the students' own mathematical measurements.
The offending drivers will be pulled over and given the option of receiving an offence notice from the officer or safety advice and student-made ticket from the students of Cosburn Middle School.
For more information, please contact Sergeant Bernie MacDonald at 416-808-5420.
