Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 5 FROMTHE PUBLISHER “Providing quality, professional marketing and fundraising services on behalf of high-profile, non-profit organizations.” The Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers publishes their Annual Crime Prevention Guide to educate the public on important community concerns, such as this 8th Annual Crime Prevention Guide targeting the very serious problem of Driving Under the Influence. The consequences of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are all too often tragic, and it is a very serious concern for all citizens of our Province. This publication is made possible as a result of financial contributions from residents and business representatives throughout Saskatchewan, and with their generous support, the SFPO is able to give back to their communities through donations to various local charities and youth programs. On behalf of the SFPO, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every contributor to our 2016 Telephone Appeal, making it possible for this unique publication to be distributed to schools, libraries and public facilities, and also it’s also available online at saskpolice.com, making it available to everyone as a tool to educate and promote DUI Awareness. Your comments and suggestions regarding these publications are always welcome and we look forward to speaking with you each year during our Annual Telephone Appeal. Respectfully, Mark T.

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 11 The Moose Jaw Police Association has a very strong and active relationship with the Moose Jaw Special Olympics. In October 2016, the Moose Jaw Police Association sponsored the Moose Jaw Special O Team and helped purchase new jerseys for the team. The Special O Team now proudly displays our logo on their jerseys. In June of 2015, we began construction on Saskatchewan’s first and only Bicycle Skills Park. The project was finished in October 2015 and we hosted a grand opening in July 2016. The bike park was our way of creating a positive legacy in our community and promoting vitality with our youth. After two years of planning and organizing, we began construction after raising over $80,000 for the project. All told, the project had a civic value of over $300,000 after factoring all of the in-kind and volunteer donations! The MJPA funded the design of the park, organized the project, supplied the necessary volunteer effort and engaged in fundraising to complete the project. Overall, the project has received overwhelming public support and positive feedback. MOOSE JAW POLICEASSOCIATION WWW.MJPOLICE.CA “Together We Make a Difference”

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 13 MOOSE JAW POLICEASSOCIATION In December 2016, the Moose Jaw Police Association sponsored the Christmas Tweets project. Cst Brittainy Clement from MJPS, along with Cst Warnar from RPS, did vehicle stops in Moose Jaw and Regina and rewarded drivers with good driving behaviour by giving away Tim Hortons gift cards. They also gave teddy bears to kids in car seats and wearing seatbelts. In December 2016, the Moose Jaw Police Association and the Kinsmen Club also sponsored a “Shop with Cops” event. This initiative allows children to pick a present for their mom and dad or guardians, wrap it with the help of an officer and finish off by creating a card to put on top. Roughly 80 children from the two local schools were able to get into the Christmas spirit and have a present to put under the tree when they arrived home after school. We wanted to teach the kids about giving back and about the gift of giving. “Together We Make a Difference”

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 29 FACTS ABOUT DRINKING AND DRIVING IN SASKATCHEWAN • A drinking driver is involved in four out of every 10 fatal collisions. • There is a drinking driver in approximately one out of seven collisions where someone is injured. • Of the 54 people killed, 35 were drivers, 10 were passengers and nine were pedestrians. • Of the 54 people killed, 28 were killed on provincial highways, 14 on rural roads, six on urban streets and six on First Nations roads. • Those aged 25-34 are involved in the most alcohol-related collisions. THE IMPAIRING EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ONTHE BRAIN Alcohol affects everyone differently. Blood alcohol content (BAC) may be affected by age, gender, physical condition, and amount of food consumed, medication and other factors. Also, different mixed drinks contain different amounts of alcohol, so it's important to know how much alcohol has been consumed, not just how many drinks the person has had. Sequence of effects on the body Alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream very quickly. As blood alcohol levels start to rise, the brain becomes increasingly sedated or drugged. Judgment The first part of the body affected by alcohol is the brain, particularly the part of the brain that allows you to think clearly and make good decisions. Its sedative effects impair judgment in a way that is usually not noticed by the drinker. The part of the brain that controls social inhibitions is also affected, causing people to say and do things they normally would not. These effects start with one drink. Muscle control The second part of the body affected by alcohol is muscle control. Due to the small muscles in the eye being very susceptible to the effects of alcohol, vision can be significantly affected, even at low alcohol levels. Many people wrongly assess their ability to drive after drinking by observing physical dexterity (staggering, etc.). This is incorrect as the greatest percentage of alcohol-related collisions result from faulty thinking during the identification, prediction and decision parts of the driving task and not as a result of poor execution (steering, braking, etc.). The brain functions that are first affected by alcohol consumption are not only important to our ability to drive safely, but are the same ones required to make rational decisions about not driving after drinking. For this reason, you must make the decision to separate your drinking and driving and make the necessary alternate transportation plans before you have that first drink! It does not make sense to drive after drinking. For more information on the effects of alcohol and drugs, contact your nearest Alcohol and Drug Services office. DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 31 DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING CONTINUED HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS YOU LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH As the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream increases, the body loses more and more of the functions required to drive safely. The increased likelihood of a crash begins long before drivers feel drunk or severely impaired. It is important to understand BAC and its impact on driving at various levels. Driving impaired, even at low levels, is a real gamble. The only truly safe BAC is 0%. Note: Guide based on averages - not for legal use.

If you go to bed intoxicated with a BAC of .25% and alcohol leaves the system at a rate of approximately .015% per hour, this might be a picture of what happens: Note: The above situation is only an example. Alcohol effects each person differently. Depressant drugs Like alcohol, other depressant drugs include sedatives or tranquillizers (used to treat anxiety, depression and sleeping disorders, e.g., valium), antihistamines (often used in flu, allergy and hay fever remedies) and painkillers. These drugs slow down your brain and body; they blunt alertness and reduce motor coordination. This affects a person's ability to drive safely in a way similar to alcohol. Any drug that causes drowsiness can also affect a person's ability to drive safely. People who drive after using any type of depressant can't react as quickly when they need to. Their vision is affected, and may be blurred or doubled. Depth perception is altered, making it hard to tell whether other vehicles, pedestrians or objects are close or far away. Their driving is more likely to be careless PRESCRIPTION AND OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING CONTINUED

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 35 or reckless – weaving, speeding, driving off the road, and (too often) crashing. If the label advises against operating heavy machinery, consider it a warning not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Stimulants Stimulant drugs, such as caffeine and amphetamines, may increase alertness, but this does not mean they improve driving skills. The tired driver who drinks coffee to stay awake on the road should be aware that the stimulant effect can wear off suddenly, and that the only remedy for fatigue is to pull off the road and sleep. Amphetamines do not seem to affect driving skills when taken at medical doses, but they do make some people over-confident, which can lead to risky driving. Higher doses of amphetamines often make people hostile and aggressive. If you think drug taking has little, or even a positive impact on your driving, you could be tragically mistaken. It's important to bear in mind that it can be hard to determine exactly how a drug will affect your driving ability – impairment caused by drugs can vary according to the individual, drug type, dosage, the length of time the drug stays in your body, or if the drug has been taken with other drugs or alcohol. When taking prescription or over-the-counter medications, it is wise to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driving. ILLEGAL DRUGS Illegal drugs impair your driving. They can alter your perception of time and what you see. They can make you hallucinate or miss things you should see. They can put you to sleep. Marijuana Some people think that marijuana is a safer substitute to drinking, but it can cause concentration to wander, which can affect reaction times. It can also cause paranoia, drowsiness, distorted perception and a sense of disorientation – all of which could cause you to lose control at the wheel. Marijuana is the most commonly traced drug in drivers. Even though the effects fade after a matter of hours, it can be detected in the blood for up to four weeks. In theory, this can compromise the driver if they tested positive, even if their driving wasn't adversely affected at the time. Some experts claim that smoking a marijuana joint has roughly a similar level of impairment on driving ability as drinking four pints of beer. Also, reports show that in the majority of fatal collisions where marijuana has been detected in a driver's body, alcohol has also been detected. Alcohol alone or in combination with marijuana increases impairment, collision rate and collision responsibility (the same can be applied to other drugs too). Cocaine This is a psycho-stimulant that can lead to misjudging driving speed and stopping distances. It can also cause a distorted sense DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING CONTINUED

While it can make you feel alert at first, the effects wear off quickly, leading to an increased danger of falling asleep at the wheel. Ecstasy A stimulant drug with hallucinogenic properties, ecstasy can distort your sense of vision and heighten your sense of sound. Your concentration can be affected, while you may become over-confident and more likely to take dangerous risks. Ketamine, LSD and magic mushrooms Drugs such as these with hallucinogenic properties can strongly influence the senses, so drivers may react to objects or sounds that aren't there and place themselves and other road users in danger. Coordination skills are likely to be greatly affected, and you may experience anxiety, blurred vision and a sense of detachment from reality – all of which could be deadly on the road. Speed (amphetamine) While amphetamines might give you a sense of heightened alertness and confidence, they can be highly dangerous for drivers as they distort your perceptions and can make you feel anxious, prone to panic attacks and lose coordination. Drug-impaired driving is considered as serious an offence as alcohol-impaired driving, and carries the same penalties. There are no illegal drugs that improve your driving. They all make it worse. Do not drive after using any drugs. DRINKING AND DRUGS COMBINED Many people think that driver impairment is caused exclusively by ingestion of alcohol. The truth is that the alcohol in one’s body will determine their blood alcohol level. However, if that person already has another drug in their system, the impairing effect on the functioning of the central nervous system (brain) is far greater than the impairing effect of the alcohol and the impairing effect of the other drugs combined; it is not a simple adding together of impairment, but rather a multiplier effect! This is the synergistic effect! What it means is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, or 1+1 = more than two. When combining drugs and alcohol it causes a multiplying effect. This has an unpredictable effect on driving and can be deadly. DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING CONTINUED

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 39 Perhaps a few real life examples would be helpful to understand this synergistic effect. Assume that a drink is: 1 bottle of regular alcohol content beer; or 5 ounces table wine; or 3 ounces fortified wine (port or sherry); or 1-1/2 ounce hard liquor (rye, rum, vodka etc.). Combined with: anti-depressants gravol antihistamines valium We find that there is a predictable synergistic effect related to the level of impairment caused by a certain number of drinks when combined in this manner. It must be noted that the dosage of the drug will have a serious effect on the “equivalence to number of drinks” estimates. Hydroponically grown marijuana, for example, is much stronger than the light dosage drug used in compiling the figures for this chart. In all cases, the Intoxilyzer reading would indicate just the blood alcohol level caused by two drinks, but the actual impairment of central nervous system function would be equivalent to a much higher blood alcohol level. Understanding the synergistic effect of alcohol combined with other drugs could be a lifesaver. www.gov.sk.ca DRINKING, DRUGS & DRIVING CONTINUED #DriveSober Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 41 Impaired driving can result in driver's licence suspensions, alcohol and drug education programs, fines, penalties and fees. The Traffic Safety Act along with the Driver Licence and Suspension Regulations, and the Vehicle Impoundment Regulations provide SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance) with authority over driving rules and the consequences of not following them. WHO DO THESE CONSEQUENCES APPLY TO? New drivers - if you are caught with any amount of alcohol or drugs in your system you will be suspended at roadside and face other consequences such as vehicle impoundment. There is zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs. Experienced drivers - the provincial legal limit is .04 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and under. Drivers that register a BAC exceeding .04 to 0.08 (warn range) will lose their licence and face other consequences such as vehicle impoundment. The administrative consequences for Criminal Code offences such as exceeding .08 BAC, refusing a breath test or Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) applies to all drivers along with vehicle impoundment and other consequences as outlined in the table below. Note: Refusing a breath test or an SFST will result in a charge under the Criminal Code and an immediate roadside suspension will remain in effect until the charges are resolved in court. Non-alcohol related Criminal Code convictions require completion of alcohol and drug education programs. DRINKING, DRUGSAND DRIVING CONSEQUENCES ADMINISTRATIVE CONSEQUENCES AND COSTS
