What is the Road Watch Program?
Road Watch is a community initiative that gives residents and visitors an opportunity to report dangerous and aggressive drivers to the police.
If you observe a dangerous act of aggressive driving on the roads in Brampton, please fill in the details on the Citizen Report Form and drop off at the approved drop off locations listed below or mail to any Peel Regional Police Division or Community station. Forms can also be faxed to the Peel Regional Police Traffic Services at 905-507-8297. For complaints that have occurred on a Provincial Highway, forms should be dropped off at the Port Credit Ontario Provincial Police Detachment. Once the report has been filed with the police, an incident number is assigned and contact with the plate owner begins in a tiered response by the police.
At each contact point, an opportunity is given for the vehicle owner to provide feedback.
How the Citizen Report is Processed
- The first time a citizen report is received, a letter is sent to the plate owner describing the incident and location where the vehicle was observed as operated in a dangerous, aggressive manner. The letter highlights the date, location and reported violation. A request is made to the registered owner or any driver of the vehicle to voluntarily cooperate and drive in a responsible manner on our roads.
- The second time a citizen report is received on the same licence plate owner, a repeat letter is sent from the police with personal contact from a police officer to address the problem.
- A third report/complaint directed at the same plate owner will result in a third letter and personal visit from a police officer. Depending on the circumstances, charges will be considered and an officer may monitor the vehicle’s actions to allow enforcement if the action is repeated.
You will remain anonymous, unless you choose to pursue a detailed police investigation that may result in charges being laid and require a court appearance.
When you send in the report form, it is important that you sign it and make it as complete as possible to safeguard the system against abuse. Unsigned Citizen Report Forms will not be processed. Be assured that any personal information is for statistical use only and is held in the strictest of confidence by Peel Regional Police under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. Your name will be kept confidential and not disclosed.
