Cyclists, skateboarders and scooter riders were also commonly found using safety equipment such as helmets and reflective clothing.
On roadways officers responded to 24 motor vehicle collisions. 4 involved injury, 9 were crashes with animals, 106 drivers were charged with speeding, 7 with failing to wear a seatbelt, 5 with liquor license act charges and 2 with impaired driving.
