Enforcement officers were busy on March 5, as members from several detachments conducted a joint operation in the Buffalo Lake area, 80 km northeast of Red Deer.

Bashaw RCMP, along with members from Blackfalds and Wetaskiwin RCMP, Alberta Fish and Wildlife, and County Peace Officers from Stettler, Lacombe and Camrose, set up check stops at the lake’s entry points.

“Joint operations between partner agencies allow officers to bring different specialties to one location and increase overall safety through education and enforcement efforts, “ says Cpl. Grant Glacier of the Bashaw RCMP.

Members checked for a variety of things, including impaired driving, vehicle safety, and fisheries violations.

Officers conducted 211 Mandatory Alcohol Screening tests.
