Abstract

This report will provide the background with regard to the problem of alcohol abuse in Ontario by some recreational vehicle users. Recreational vehicles include snowmobiles, vessels, and All- Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). The article will also illustrate the typical "profile" of individuals that engage in the abuse of alcohol while operating recreational vehicles. To address this serious problem, the Ontario Provincial Police received additional provincial funding in 2001 to form the Snowmobile ATV Vessel Enforcement (S.A.V.E.) Unit. The three SAVE teams are staffed with experienced OPP law enforcement officers and are located strategically in the Province. The specialized unit supplements the efforts of regular front-line police officers and focuses on the reduction and prevention of recreational fatalities through enforcement and educational presentations.
