Windsor police are launching Operation Impact for the month of October.

It is a collaborative effort of Canadian police services and Transport Canada to enforce the laws against high risk activities of road users.

The goal is to make Canada's roads amongst the safest in the world.

It was originally a one-day campaign aimed at increasing seat belt use across the country. It has evolved to target other high risk activities, targeting enforcement in the areas of impaired driving, occupant restraint use and all aspects related to aggressive and distracted driving.

Traditionally it is only done over the Thanksgiving weekend, but Windsor police are extending the initiative for the whole month of October.
