Brantford Police Service Arrest 20 Impaired Drivers in August 2025

September 17, 2025

The Brantford Police Service is reminding drivers of the dangers and consequences of impaired driving after officers arrested 20 individuals in August 2025 for impaired operation of a motor vehicle.

Many of the drivers arrested were found to be well over the legal limit, posing a serious risk to themselves and others on the road. These arrests highlight the ongoing risks posed by drivers who choose to operate a vehicle while impaired.

“Impaired driving, whether from alcohol or drugs, continues to be one of the leading causes of preventable injuries and deaths on our roadways,” said Robin Matthews-Osmond, Corporate Communications Manager. “Every time someone chooses to drive while impaired, they put their life and the lives of others at risk.”

Drivers are reminded that impaired operation can result from alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. The penalties for impaired driving include immediate license suspensions, vehicle impoundment, significant fines, and possible jail time.

The Brantford Police Service would like to thank the concerned citizens who called to report possible impaired drivers. Anyone who believes they are observing an impaired driver are asked to please contact 911. Road safety is a shared responsibility.

Additionally, information can be provided anonymously to Brantford Crime Stoppers by calling 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477 or by submitting a web tip online at: https://www.crimestoppersbb.com/submit-a-tip/  

The Brantford Police Service is committed to keeping our community safe. We will continue to conduct enforcement efforts and encourage all motorists to plan ahead; call a cab, arrange for a designated driver, or use a rideshare service if you intend to consume alcohol or drugs.

Remember: One impaired driver is one too many. Make the right choice, don’t drive impaired.
