Cops come along for the ride

Rosanne Fortier On October 7, Constables Curtis Harsulla and Jaison Gagnon and Community Peace Officer Dustin Angle occupied students during a school bus ride-along. This initiative primarily is to build positive relationships with our youth while being on the lookout for motorists who are
disobeying traffic laws as they relate to school buses. This could be in the form of drivers not stopping for the flashing red lights on the school bus to
speeding in a school zone and everything else in between. Two school buses had RCMP officers on board which resulted in a few speed-
ers being detected and charged. Vegreville RCMP wants to get the message out there that school bus safety is paramount and that at any
given time there may be an RCMP officer on board a school bus in the Vegreville area. Other communities have tried this initiative and have had good success with it. The youth on board the school buses had a very positive reaction to this initiative and asked a lot of questions. Youth safety is important to the Vegreville RCMP and the detachment will continue its work in this area, ensuring students get to and from school safely. -With files from the RCMP
