Members of West Region Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue their efforts to get impaired drivers off the province’s roads and highways this holiday season, as the 2025 OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign enters its third week.
To date, West Region OPP officers have conducted 1,055 RIDE check events across 13 West Region detachments, with the following results after the first two weeks of the annual enforcement and education campaign:
- 95 impaired driving charges
- 39 warn-range suspensions
Provincially, OPP officers have laid 409 impaired driving charges and 39 warn-range suspensions in 3,595 RIDE check events in OPP-patrolled areas across Ontario.
This year’s OPP Festive RIDE Campaign runs from November 20 to January 1, 2026. During the campaign, the public can expect an increased OPP presence on West Region roads and highways as officers conduct RIDE initiatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the province.
The OPP remains committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
