In an effort to bring further attention and deterrence to driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, the Thunder Bay Police Service will be reporting the names of those people who are charged with an alleged criminal impaired driving offence by our officers.
Individuals charged for impaired driving also face a Ministry of Transportation 90-day Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension. The public is encouraged to contact the Thunder Bay Police Service through the non-emergency line at 684-1200, or submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (www.p3tips.com), if they know of suspended drivers who continue to drive in contravention of a suspension.
If you see an incident of suspected impaired driving in progress please call 911.

Please note this date range is larger than typical. Most future posts will feature seven-day blocks.
