As a member of the police service board, I have the opportunity to hear about the community programs HRPS is involved in with the community, as well as their ideas for new projects that would benefit our community.
One very exciting project currently being run in Halton Region is the Community Road Watch program.
This is a community-operated program that gives residents the opportunity to report aggressive and unsafe drivers through a Citizen Report Form to police.
Here's how the citizen report is processed:
If the vehicle owner was not driving their vehicle, it is their responsibility to speak with the person who was.
If you observe a dangerous act of aggressive driving on the roads in Halton Region, please consider taking the time to submit a Citizen Report Form.
You can fill out the form online, or place a completed form in one of the secure drop boxes that are located throughout the community at participating police stations, businesses and libraries.
Copies of the form can be faxed to the Halton Region Police Service at 905-845-0381.
The information you provide in the reports is held in strict confidence by Halton Regional Police and you will remain unidentified.
Please fill out the forms as completely as possible to provide the police with the most information possible.
All completed forms are picked up on a regular basis and verified by the police for accuracy. I encourage you to participate in this program and help to keep Halton streets safe from dangerous and aggressive driving.
To fill out a Citizen Report Form, or for more information about the Community Road Watch program, please contact the Halton Regional Police Service at 905-825-4777 -- South Halton; 905-878-5511 - North Halton, or visit the website at www.hrps.on.ca.
