Traffic Bureau

The Traffic Bureau is comprised of 44 sworn members and three civilians in four areas – Enforcement, Road Safety Programs, Collision Reconstruction and Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Units.

The bureau is responsible for implementing a wide array of road safety programs, including Operation A.B.C. (Always Be Careful), Safe Roads...Your Call and Operation Disqualified, to name just a few.

In 2010, members of the bureau were tasked with incorporating all its traffic safety strategies into a unified Traffic Safety Plan with specific targets, goals and objectives. The result was Our Roadmap to Road Safety – a plan that provides direction to all uniform officers on how to perform consistent enforcement across the region.

As part of our annual commitment to the Festive Season Enhanced R.I.D.E program, officers in our Road Safety Programs Unit worked closely with members of Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving from Cardinal Carter Catholic High School in Aurora to launch the season with an emotional event attended by the families of victims of impaired driving. They shared their stories with students, local dignitaries and media personalities.

The bureau also made a considerable contribution to the security of the G8 and G20 summits in 2010. Ten members of the bureau were trained in high-speed motor vehicle escorts and were assigned to escort German diplomats attending the summit.

The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Unit expanded last year and we became the first police service in Canada to formally join the international Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), which provides access to resources and a stronger voice in shaping legislation across North America.
