Speed Watch on
Vancouver Island
Dennis Simmons,
District 69 Speed Watch Volunteer
In 1990 we saw a need for a C.O.P.S. (Citizens on
Patrol) program in our area of Qualicum Beach.
 With
the help of the RCMP, we managed to get one up and
running. In 1992 we found that we needed to slow
down speeding vehicles. A local police officer asked
me if I would start up a "Speed Watch Program" as
ICBC would help us by supplying the equipment and we
would have a police officer to assist as well.
Many of our faithful volunteers that
started with us at that time are still with us
today. Having reached the good old age of 80, I
still enjoy the program and hope to continue for
many more years.
I am pleased to say that Speed Watch
has been a successful and worthwhile cause for our
communities. Thanks for the support from ICBC, RCMP
and all the members of this program - it has been a
success for everyone!

"ICBC's investment in road safety includes the
support of volunteer based programs like "Citizens
on Patrol" and "Speed Watch." These programs, and
others, can make a significant impact in communities
by helping to reduce auto crime and unsafe speed.
The success of these initiatives is due, in no small
part, to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers
across Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and Powell
River. In a salute to the wonderful work of our
volunteers, we have asked a few of them to describe
their experiences and motivation in their own
words." |
