Ok, this was taken off duty in a relatively well lit parking lot with my headlights on. Did anyone consult with police before designing and manufacturing the new Ontario licence plates? They’re virtuallly unreadable at night.

I don’t know how often we can say it - stay off the roads! Bayridge Dr between Coverdale to the north and Front to the south is virtually 100% whiteout conditions with multiple vehicles stuck/abandoned. Some of the reasons given for being out are unbelievable!

Many motorists seem to be unaware of the 2nd requirement where an emergency vehicle is approaching (in this case an ambulance). Not only do you pull to the right but you also STOP. Doing so tells us you're 1 less thing we need to be concerned about. $490 fine & 3 demerit points.

Let’s play the game of ‘When can you spot the emergency vehicle?” If it’s only 30-50 feet that means you’re virtually undetectable to anyone else with your own car. This is Bayridge and Henderson currently. Turning people around when I can. Stay off the road! #StayHome

It’s dependent on the circumstances. If not a priority call, yes, our officers should set the example. However, if an emergency like a domestic or assault in progress, weapons call, severe mental health distress, child endangerment, etc, we can’t always be picky with our parking.

I could stay all day at Bayridge Dr and Creekford Rd T-intersection between stop sign rollers and speeders doing 90+ in a 60 zone. $220 & 4 points for that speed. $110 & 3 points for the stop sign. Come to a full and complete stop and slow down. 🛑 🚙💨

A historic moment! Deputy Chief @antjemcneely has a varied and experienced career with a wide range of accomplishments. I strongly believe her progressive approach will serve us well in the future. Also the 1st time since 1994 we’ve appointed a Chief internally. Congratulations!

Totally unacceptable. @FPSParamedics are only there to help people. If you hurt or threaten them expect our quick arrival, where instead of receiving a bandage, a gurney & medical treatment you’ll be getting handcuffs, a concrete cell & a bail hearing.

Frontenac paramedics were once again the target of abuse. On Tuesday, a paramedic was threatened in public on Wolfe Island resulting in an OPP investigation. Violence against Frontenac paramedics will not be tolerated Our statement:

And a last acknowledgment to all of the tow operators out there who have been going non-stop for the last 2 days straight. They’re not recognized enough, work in horrendous conditions, and often put themselves at risk. A special thank you to Ryan and Caleb.

I’m unsure if it’s due to the messaging to stay off the streets, early commute times & businesses letting employees go home early on the last Friday before the holidays, or a combination of both, but traffic in the city central has dramatically decreased. Good job everyone! 👏

I have a sneaky S/Sgt who quickly snapped this on day shift at the Watch Commander’s desk. A phone on each ear, a 3rd portable on the desk, a radio, 4 regular monitors and 2 more for security cameras. I got this! #multitasking101 😁

Driving by this motorist with iPhone held in hand right up to their head while talking (could even make out the Apple logo). Very cooperative but like a lot of people was shocked to discover they’ll lost their licence for 3 days upon conviction. $615 fine + 3 demerit points. 🚙📵

Winter weather should not be all doom & gloom, discussing only collisions, road shutdowns, power losses, etc. A peaceful morning walk with my old girl today made everything better. Send me your winter vistas and/or pet pics to cheer everyone up. ❄️🐶

Doesn’t get much worse than this for parking: left wheels to curb, right bumper striking out in traffic, while in a handicapped space with no permit. Returning owner advised she was picking up her dog. Not a vaild excuse. $300 fine. #ygk

Amazing job by Cst. Dickson & Zeus! Our C Platoon was working last night & initially responded, setting up perimeter & then running with Jeff as backup, assisting with arrests as he plucked them out of the dark bush. Great teamwork by all! Also, nice pic. Wonder who took it? 😉
