Police crackdown on unnecessary vehicle noise

The Windsor Police Service issued 3,000 citations during its four-month anti-noise campaign.

Between May 1 and September 5, officers handed out citations to motorists who raced their vehicle, revved their engines, squealed their tires or made any unnecessary noise.

There were 2,865 citations issued for speeding, 77 citations for stunt driving, and 58 for other noise-related infractions.

“Unnecessary vehicle noise and speeding continue to be among the top concerns for people in our community,” said Inspector Jennifer Crosby, who oversees our Traffic Enforcement Unit. “We hope that the actions taken throughout this campaign will encourage people to slow down, discourage unnecessary noise, and ultimately make our streets safer for everyone.”

Police will continue to monitor noise-related offences and take action when necessary.

To file a noise complaint, please use the Windsor Police Service’s online reporting system or call the non-emergency line at 519-258-6111.
