Windsor police teamed up with Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Thursday evening for a RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program.

Two checkpoints were set up on Matchett Road, as well as on Cabana Road East off Howard Avenue.

Officers checked a total of 480 vehicles, and found no drivers were impaired.
