In the last week, Golden RCMP has received 103 calls for service, 51 of which were traffic related. Golden officers responded to vehicles broken down on Hwy 1 and in the canyon, cyclists in the canyon affecting the flow of traffic, some minor vehicle collisions, and at least one driver found to be under the influence of alcohol. However the majority of the traffic related calls for service were in relation to aggressive drivers, primarily on Hwy 1.
Also in the past week, five people were arrested and lodged in cells, all of whom were under the influence of alcohol and/or illicit drugs. These people in their mind-altered state, had been involved in physical altercations which led to the police being called. Charges are pending in at least one incident.
