The Dauphin RCMP are increasing the number of officers on the road in and around the Dauphin area this August long weekend.
The increased patrols are focusing on drivers who don’t stop at stop signs, those not wearing seatbelts, and distracted drivers.
Corporal Kalvin Kristjanson with the Dauphin RCMP says the additional officers are to increase road safety in the area.
"We want everyone to get to their destinations safely, but we need the public to do their part. Make sure everyone is wearing seatbelts, stop at all stop signs, and never drive while impaired or distracted."
