A joint-forces initiative targeting impaired driving has already begun paying off with arrests.

The Quinte West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Belleville Police Service, Central Hastings OPP, Prince Edward County OPP and members of the OPP Highway Safety Division are conducting Focused Patrols in various areas of the region to combat impaired driving.

During the first week of the joint RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere), officers arrested four people for impaired driving. This included a 42-year-old woman from Belleville, a 58- year-old man from Quinte West, a 35-year-old male from Springbrook and a 38-year-old male from Stone Mills Township. In addition, there were five three-day suspensions issued to individuals who registered a warning on the approved roadside alcohol screening device, along with various Highway Traffic Act and cannabis related offences.

Focused Patrol analyzes data to determine crime and traffic trends within municipalities. This allows detachments to better determine where and when resources should be deployed.

"Impaired driving is one of the greatest threats on our roads," said Belleville Police Chief Murray Rodd. "We are committed to doing our part in reducing impaired driving through targeted enforcement and working in close collaboration with our partners. By removing impaired drivers, we are protecting everyone who shares our streets."

The focus patrol will continue until November 2, 2025, but RIDE programs can happen any time, anywhere. If you suspect someone is driving impaired, call 9-1-1. You could help save lives.

And please do not come to a scene to “get a look” you put everyone on that scene in danger.

When you show up you are now part of it, you are a hazard, firefighters/paramedics and police have to ensure your safety as well as work in the already dangerous conditions. Don’t divide our attention.

Stay away you will get details later in the news, there is always media coverage of some sort.

TWO RAINY RIVER PARAMEDICS RECOGNIZED FOR BRAVERY

ATIKOKAN — Two paramedics with the District of Rainy River Services Board in Atikokan have received further commendation for a house fire rescue.

Raphaël Désautels and Syed Ali were presented King Charles III Coronation Medals in Atikokan on Oct. 10 by Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Kevin Holland.

The two also each received the Ontario Medal for Paramedic Bravery in 2024.

Désautels and Ali were called to a house fire on March 20, 2023 in Atikokan, where they were immediately confronted with thick black smoke. Désautels told Newswatch they got a dog out of the house and, further inside the smoke-filled home, found a man on the floor, who they also rescued.

“There was really thick smoke, so we had to manage proper extrication and being safe with one another,” Désautels said. “The fire department arrived shortly thereafter and supported the team, and the police department was also present on scene and helped us.”

The man inside the home was taken to hospital in Atikokan and eventually flown to Thunder Bay for care, he said.

“It's a very humbling experience,” Ali said of receiving recognition. “The amazing community that we serve, people are amazing in the Rainy River District.”

Ali said they work throughout numerous communities, including Atikokan, Fort Frances, Emo, the town of Rainy River and others.

“I believe we take pride in serving the community,” he said. “It's such a diverse and great community that it's a pleasure to come to work every single day.”

“We're just here to do our job. The community members are amazing — they support us.”

“This is a well-deserved honour for Raphaël and Syed,” Joshua Colling, the chief of the Rainy River District Paramedic Services, was quoted as saying in a media release. “Their actions reflect the professionalism and compassion that define our service.”

Ali said they’re grateful for their families who support them, as well as their colleagues.

“They have been awesome, (a) very resilient team we have here,” he said. “Leadership, also the members, we all work together as a team and we're all proud of serving the community.”

Désautels added that he was at a loss for words.

“I think in our humble words, we're pretty grateful.”
