Perth County OPP giving thumbs up to those who gear up

From June 26th to July 4th Police Promoting and Enforcing Safety Laws

 

Perth County OPP are giving 2 thumbs up to those that gear up for safety.

If you are out on the roads, waterways and trails this Canada Day week June 26th to July 4th and see a Perth County OPP officer giving you 2 thumbs up it’s cause you supported their latest traffic safety campaign.

The police are promoting and enforcing laws around safety equipment. They will give thumbs up to boaters, off-roaders, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants they spot wearing life jackets/pfd’s, helmets and seat belts.

Annually lack or improper use of safety equipment is linked to a significant number of deaths and serious injuries on OPP patrolled roads, waterways and trails.
