Constable. Rob Lindsay and constable Nicholas Danyliuk of the Prince Albert Police Service have been recognized with a Van de Vorst Family Award for Excellence in Prevention from MADD Canada for their efforts to arrest and remove impaired drivers.

The awards are presented in memory of Jordan and Chanda Van de Vorst and their two children, Kamryn and Miguire, who lost their lives due to impaired driving.

Statistics show impaired driving continues to be a concern in Prince Albert. Numbers to the end of November note 129 charges for impaired driving so far in 2020, up from 116 in 2019.

Prince Albert Police Chief Jonathan Bergen says, impaired driving investigations take time and can be difficult to investigate, especially given the volume of overall calls for service Prince Albert Police members are tasked with responding to each shift.

Both Cst. Lindsay and Cst. Danyliuk received a special coin and certificate of recognition on behalf of MADD and SGI for their significant efforts to curb impaired driving in our community.
