OPP Step Up Labour Day Enforcement

The OPP will be stepping up enforcement on both land and water this Labour Day long weekend.

Provincial police are launching Operation Maximum Effort starting today.

Constable Dave Cain says they will be looking out for aggressive drivers in vehicles and vessels.

"There's always a continued vigilance," says Cain. "but there be more emphasis put on traffic. You find more cruisers on the highway and like we always do we're addressing the big issues - impaired driving, erratic driving, seatbelts."

OPP say their goal is to reduce fatalities across the province this long weekend.
