As we ring in the New Year this evening, everyone is reminded to enjoy themselves safely.

Whether out on the town or over at friends, local RCMP will be spending their evening trying to ensure a safe entry into the new year for everyone.

Sergeant Greg Heuer with the Swift Current city RCMP details their focus this evening.

“Our members as usual will be out watching for impaired drivers and making sure that people that are out visiting local drinking establishments are able to have a safe and secure way when they are going between establishments.”

Sergent Heuer adds that they will also make sure no one gets behind the wheel who shouldn’t.

“They will also be out on patrols watching for people who have had a little too much to drink and should not be driving.”

Everyone is reminded to ensure they have a safe ride home.
