OPP Report

Sioux Lookout distracted driving campaign results 

From Monday, March 11, 2019 through Sunday, March 17, 2019, officers from the Sioux Lookout Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment participated in the March Break Distracted Driving Campaign. As well as educating the public about the new consequences in place, officers issued numerous warnings and charges throughout the week-long campaign. 

Although the campaign has come to an end, Provincial Constables are still monitoring the roadways for distracted drivers in an effort to eliminate a serious safety hazard from our roadways. 

As the spring weather begins to appear, drivers are again reminded to keep their focus on the road while they are behind the wheel. Should you observe a motorist driving distracted, the OPP request that you obtain a vehicle marker and description before safely contacting police at 1-888-310-1122.
