Growing up with family that operated a motel, contact with local authorities were bound to happen. Ever since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by row models, specifically law enforcement. When incidents were to occur, such as a disorderly person, or a noise disordinance, I would get the opportunity to see a police officer - even for a minuscule amount of time. With that being said, growing up with law enforcement in my childhood was normal. Something about the career stood out to me, in which made me want to dig deeper, learn more, and understand what they do. Day after day, I strived to learn more and participate in activities that had components of law or justice. Now, as I'm 17 years of age, I've spent majority of my life learning the occupation of a police officer in Canada. I've encouraged myself to study

ordinances, levels of justice, criminal law, but most importantly to me, traffic law.

Stopping impaired drivers from taking lives on our roads can be no less than a full, all-in collaboration between police, other road safety partners and Ontario citizens.

It's a message the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and its many partners hope will resonate strongly with Ontarians, as the annual Festive R.I.D.E. campaign gets underway across the province.

During the seven-week campaign, led by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, alcohol/drug-impaired drivers have as great a chance as ever to observe police make full use of their expertise and sophisticated set of tools to detect, charge, and immediately remove these dangerous drivers from the road.

Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) available to police

One police tool that drivers should be particularly mindful of is Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS). MAS allows a police officer to demand a breath test from any lawfully stopped driver (which includes those pulled over in Festive R.I.D.E. stops), even if there is no evidence or suspicion that the driver has consumed alcohol.

Drivers are reminded that Drug Recognition Evaluation (DRE) and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) officers remain effective police resources for detecting drug-impaired drivers and that the same penalties apply as those who are alcohol-impaired.

"Sadly, 51 people have died on OPP-patrolled roads this year in collisions that involved a driver who consumed alcohol and/or drugs. This ongoing, senseless loss of life is what drives the OPP's commitment and that of our valued road safety partners to eliminate impaired driving on our roads," said Thomas Carrique, OPP Commissioner. "If you suspect or witness impaired driving, please treat it like the dangerous crime that it is and immediately report it to police. Together, we can keep our roads safe during the holidays."

"In Ontario, impaired driving is one of the leading causes of death on the roads. Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is dangerous and illegal," said Ontario Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney. "As you make plans for the holiday season and year-round, please remember to plan ahead and use public transit, take a taxi or have a designated driver to ensure you arrive home safely."

"Let's all do our part to keep our roads safe, and prevent the tragic deaths and devastating injuries caused by impaired driving."

Young, novice and commercial drivers are reminded that, under Ontario's zero tolerance law, it is illegal for these driver classes to have any amount of alcohol or drugs in their system.

A career in law enforcement is filled with stress, physical tension, and being vigilant. Policing brings many steps for one to achieve success. Here is my plan moving forward from post-secondary school to pursue law enforcement.

Participating in municipal and/or business enforcement jobs, such as security, community patrol, by-law, or even an auxiliary program.

Secondly, I plan on enrolling into law courses. These courses would help me advance my understanding of municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government, and dig deeper into rights & freedoms in Canada.

Moreover, I plan on travelling around provinces & municipalities to see different procedural operations of policing. In addition, getting contacts with commissioned police officers.

Lastly, I plan on getting to the best physical & mental state, as it will be required all throughout trainings and during the start of my career. For policing, I'll need to work on physical strength, core strength, most importantly, my cardio.

My goal throughout my life is to give back to my community. I would like to help someone, whether it being a small act of kindness or a life changing event. There are many ways to give back, such as giving food and water to the homeless, donating funds to a charity, volunteering at a business, or even helping an elderly cross a crosswalk. No matter what it may be, my strive is to thank the people who were there for me at my lowest of times, the people who helped me when I couldn't help myself, the people who took time out of their day to make sure I was okay.
