Driver charged after commercial vehicle collides with overpass

Understanding Police Response Priorities In July, 4,856 calls were logged. Of those, 2,987 were priority 1, 2 or 3. Every call for service is important, but not every call requires the same level of response. Calls are assigned a priority level from 1 to 9 based on the information available at the time, and that priority can change as new information is received. Priority 1 to 3 calls involve an immediate threat to life, serious injury, or public safety and require an urgent police response. Priority 4 to 6 calls require police attention but do not involve an immediate risk of harm. Priority 7 to 9 calls can often be resolved over the phone or through alternative reporting options. Some examples of the priority 1-3 calls received in July are: · Assault · Intimate Partner Violence · Mental Health Act · Robbery · Weapons · Break & Enter · Motor Vehicle Collision · Unwanted Person · Disturb the Peace · Person Welfare Check · Suspicious Person · Ambulance Assist · Theft · Animal Cruelty The volume and urgency of these calls highlight the important work of our primary response officers, who respond with professionalism and compassion to keep our community safe.  Did you Know? A Motor Vehicle Collision may be classified between priority 1 and 7. In general, a collision involving serious injuries, a fatality, criminal behaviour, or a significant public safety hazard will receive a higher-priority response than a minor property-damage collision where vehicles are safely off the roadway and no offences are apparent.
