The Regional police working out of the Burlington detachment seem to have a brigade of citizens working for them.
On Saturday November 21, 2015 at 10:20 pm, a citizen observed a Ford motor vehicle being driven in an erratic manner in the area of Guelph Line near the intersection of Woodward Avenue. The citizen telephoned the Halton Regional Police Service because they suspected the driver of the vehicle may have been impaired.
Moments later the citizen observed the Ford motor vehicle lose control and strike a small traffic sign on a median at this intersection and then drive away.
The Halton Regional Police Service attended several minutes later and determined that the 35 year old female driver of this vehicle had previously consumed a quantity of alcohol.
The police officers arrested the female motorist and brought her to the 30 Division (Burlington) police station for breath testing. She subsequently refused to provide breath samples for testing.
Kelly Ann Broderick, 35 years old of the City of Burlington, was charged with:
1. Impaired operation of a motor vehicle.
2. Failing to provide breath samples upon demand of a police officer
She will have a court appearance on December 16, 2015 at the Town of Milton. There were no injuries in this incident and minor damage to the motor vehicle.
A citizen once again makes the right call and reports an impaired driver that struck a traffic sign.
The notification of this incident by the citizen was instrumental in the arrest of this impaired driver. On Friday November 20, 2015, a different citizen reported a similar event which resulted in an impaired driving arrest of another person.
The Halton Regional Police works diligently to reduce incidents of impaired driving. The police service is about to begin its annual holiday RIDE campaign to attempt to prevent impaired driving.
Citizens are encouraged to report motorists who are driving in a manner that is a risk to public safety or if it is known that their ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired by the consumption of alcohol or drugs.

Personal Best has always meant achieving a time better than anything that she had achieved before for Kerry Halcovitch.
That personal best takes on a new dimension for Halcovitch who celebrates one year as a pancreatic cancer survivor.
Her next personal best? To compete in Ironman, Mont Tremblant, in June 2016 as a pancreatic cancer patient!

These grim statistics have essentially remained relatively unchanged for over 40 years. In fact, research indicates that incidences of pancreatic cancer are in fact on the rise.
On Sunday, November 22nd, 2015 Burlington resident, Kerry Halcovitch, will kick off her Ironman training by inspiring 150 runners and walkers with her story of courage. She will then lead the 5km “Light Up the Lake” run starting from the Burlington Waterfront Hotel.
She will be speaking at 5:45 – it will be worth listening to.
Kerry and her husband David Halcovitch both work in law enforcement. Kerry is the Executive Assistant to Stephen Tanner, the Chief of the Halton Regional Police Service.
Kerry has run the Boston Marathon and is an Ironman athlete. David is a retired police officer, who completed his policing career with the Hanover Police Service as the Chief of Police. He presently is an international security specialist.

During this amnesty, the police encourage people to turn in illegally held guns and ammunition and any other unwanted firearms, imitation firearms and air guns.

There is a dedicated telephone line available to arrange a firearm or weapon pick up. (905) 465-8733 will be monitored from Monday to Saturday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm during the ten days.
DO NOT BRING ANY WEAPONS OR FIREARMS TO A POLICE STATION.
