Thursday, June 28, 2018     July is Distracted Driving Month The Winnipeg Police Service will be conducting a distracted driving campaign in the month of July. Officers will use proactive and creative methods to deal with drivers caught using hand-operated electronic devices through both enforcement and educational opportunities.     Deaths as a result of distracted drivers are now at the same level as deaths resulting from impaired driving. One in three deaths and one in five serious injuries on Manitoba roads involve a distracted driver.     During the last targeted campaign in April 2018, Winnipeg Police officers ticketed 480 drivers. What would you think if we had processed 480 impaired drivers during the same 30 days?  Drivers need to be mindful that the dangers of distracted driving such as collisions, damages, and injuries, are equal to those of impaired driving.     Sergeant Rob Duttchen is a 17-year member of the Winnipeg Police Service. In 2009, distracted driving became more than just an issue for him. It became a tragedy. His father, Pastor Art Duttchen was killed by a distracted driver in Kingman, Arizona. To honour his father, he has committed to educating the public about distracted driving knowing that education is as important as enforcement.     As part of the Winnipeg Police Service's traffic safety strategy, Sergeant Duttchen took to the streets to assist with enforcement and education.  In some cases he provided offenders a choice; get a ticket or listen to his story as he recognizes that education is as important as any enforcement action.     The Winnipeg Police Service has produced a video featuring Sergeant Duttchen's efforts.

The CrimeStat website is an online resource that provides timely statistical information relating to crime in Winnipeg. Crime Prevention Tip Use Plants and Trees To Your Security Advantage   • Protect and defend vulnerable areas around your home. Place a thorny plant under a window or in front of a fence. (i.e., Rosebushes or Blackberry). • Use plants to provide a clear border definition of controlled space. A two foot hedge around an unfenced yard will designate it as semi private and discourages entry. • Use the 2 foot to 6 foot Rule when pruning or trimming vegetation: No objects or vegetation should be higher than 2 feet and all tree tops should be pruned no lower than 6 feet. This provides a clear line of sight onto your property.   Always consider a plant or tree size at it's maturity: Will it interfere with visibility? Big, bushy shrubs create hiding places and block views. Will it interfere with lighting? Trees are often planted next to light poles and, at maturity; the tree blocks the light, creating a shadowy or dark area.     Like us on Facebook Did you know the Winnipeg Police Service hosts its own Facebook page?
