December 1 marked the launch of the Saugeen Shores Police Service's (SSPS) annual Festive RIDE campaign.

In an SSPS media release, "Expect to see officers on dedicated RIDE details throughout the month of December and into the New Year," said media relation Sergeant Andy Evans. “The RIDE campaign isn’t just to catch the offender, but also to act as deterrent to anyone
considering getting behind the wheel after consuming a few too many," added Evans.

The campaign is an enhancement to the service’s regular RIDE efforts and a provincial grant funds extra officers to staff the campaign in addition to the regular duty road officers.
