On average, Orillia OPP officers arrested more than one impaired driver every day during the month of June.
Officers arrested and charged 38 drivers with impaired operation and impaired driving-related charges from June 1 to June 31, according to a media release.
Between June 1, 2024 and July 1, 2024, officers were dispatched to multiple traffic complaints and conducted regular traffic patrols within the city and surrounding townships.
Members of the community called the province's emergency service numbers to report high-speed drivers and erratic driving on the province's highways and the area's roadways.
As a result, 100 charges were laid over the 31 days in June by responding officers. A total of 38 drivers were arrested and charged. Thirty-two vehicles were impounded, and the drivers' licences were suspended.
"Motorists are asked to prioritize safety on our roads by slowing down, driving safely, cautiously, and never drive impaired," notes the media release.
