School Zones Safety
The Squamish RCMP are increasing patrols and enforcement in school zones, and at this stage the violation tickets being issued are limited. For that the police thank the driving public for being responsible.
As well, officers are increasing their awareness and enforcement regarding cyclists. The police are reminding everyone to wear their helmets, and cycle with the safety and consideration of others as a priority. Share the roadways and trails, and be visible.
If anyone has any information relating to these or any other crimes, they are encouraged to contact the Squamish RCMP at (604) 892-6100 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
