Brockville police say RIDE checkpoints are part of their proactive enforcement efforts to improve public safety
A routine Brockville RIDE checkpoint led to the arrest of a 52-year-old man accused of violating his house arrest conditions.
Brockville police say officers were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1 when a vehicle entered the checkpoint for a routine assessment.
During the investigation, officers identified a passenger as a Brockville resident.
Further inquiries revealed the man was subject to a conditional sentence order requiring him to remain at his approved residence, except under certain circumstances.
Police determined the man was allegedly violating the conditions of his sentence and arrested him.
The accused was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Brockville police say RIDE checkpoints are part of their proactive enforcement efforts to improve public safety.
While the programs focus on detecting impaired drivers, officers can also identify other suspected criminal and traffic offences during routine stops.
Police say these initiatives help keep roads and the community safer.
