Not just hogwash - this morning on #Hwy401 by #Maitland , #GrenvilleOPP officers went into rescue mode to save this little guy before a ham-bulance was needed… He couldn’t say where he came from, must have ham-nesia. Gave him a piggyback ride to the office while we find home. ^dh

An awkward conversation to have with a friend: you borrow their Lamborghini then lose it for 7 days in another province because you drove it twice the speed limit AND nearly rear-end a police cruiser... #LACOPP #OPP #Hwy401 #notanawesomefriend

On Saturday, #RenfrewOPP was surprised to find a vehicle parked at the front doors of the detachment. Officers conveniently didn't have to go very far to locate and charge the driver. The driver was charged with impaired by drug. ^br #DriveSafe

When you see a bridge dedicated to a fallen OPP officer, do you ever take the time to wonder about who they were or how they died? The OPP has an interactive map that can hep: ^bd

This driver thought it would be a good idea to pretend to be their sibling... because their licence is suspended. #OPPTIME officer was a step ahead - Driver was also charged criminally for identity fraud & obstructing a peace officer. @RenfrewCounty . ^dh

#HWY401 remains closed from Northumberland to the Quebec border. If you come across an on-ramp that is not blocked off, DO NOT enter the highway. If you are driving on other roads and get stuck/in a collision there may be a significant delay for emergency services to respond.
