Cobourg Police encourage the public to report suspected impaired driving by calling 911.
Impaired driving is the #1 criminal cause of death in Canada and, yet, every impaired driving crash is preventable. By calling 911 and reporting suspected impaired drivers to police, everyone can
play a role in keeping our roads and waterways safe and in reducing impaired driving crashes, deaths and injuries.
Always plan for a safe way to get home by calling a friend, a relative, a cab, or by designating a sober driver.
