The choices you make behind the wheel affect everyone who shares the road with you.

Whether you're travelling across town or across the province this long weekend, your decisions matter. Speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving and failing to wear a seatbelt continue to be major contributing factors in fatalities on Ontario roads.

Safe driving isn't just about protecting yourself. It's about protecting your passengers, other motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and the families waiting for them at home.

Buckle up, slow down, drive sober and stay focused on the road. Lives depend on it.

In January 2026, the OPP-led Provincial Guns and Gangs Enforcement Team (PGNG) initiated an intelligence-led investigation into suspected drug trafficking throughout southwestern Ontario. Investigators identified two separate criminal networks operating independently: one primarily in the Brantford and Brant County areas, and another in London and on the Oneida Nation of the Thames Settlement.

On July 7, 2026, PGNG executed search warrants at four locations in Brantford and Paris with assistance from the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU), Haldimand and Oxford County OPP Community Street Crime Units (CSCU) and Brantford Police Service.

On August 12, 2026, in collaboration with the Oneida Police Service, search warrants were executed at a residence in London and on the Oneida Nation of the Thames Settlement by PGNG, OPP TRU, OPP Provincial Liaison Team, OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, and members of the Middlesex, Lambton and Oxford County OPP CSCU, as well as the London Police Service.

As a result of the investigation, officers seized the following with approximate quantities:

• 6.5 kg suspected fentanyl
• 420 g suspected co***ne
• 250 g suspected methamphetamine
• More than C$73,500
• Handgun with an auto-switch
• R***e
• Three prohibited magazines, including an over-capacity drum magazine
• Am******on
• Brass knuckles
• Drug trafficking paraphernalia
• Two stolen camper trailers
• Stolen 2019 Honda Civic

The estimated street value of the drugs and property seized exceeds $1 million.

Seven individuals have been charged with 64 offences. Five individuals were arrested, and arrest warrants have been issued for two individuals.

Anyone with any information about illegal fi****ms or the possession, manufacturing or trafficking of illicit drugs should contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

“Every quantity of fentanyl removed from circulation is a quantity that cannot reach our neighbourhoods, put lives at risk or contribute to the devastating impacts of substance use and drug trafficking. This outcome reflects the strength of intelligence-led policing and partnership-based enforcement, and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to disrupting criminal networks, removing dangerous drugs and fi****ms from our communities and enhancing public safety across Ontario.” – OPP Acting Detective Superintendent Andy Bradford, Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau

Unlike pharmaceutical medications, illicit drugs are not produced under strict standards or quality controls. Their potency and contents can vary significantly, and the presence of unexpected substances or drug combinations may increase the risk of poisoning, overdose or other serious health harms.

The risks are real. Through education and awareness, we can save lives.

Retirement is often spent right where they feel most at home: with their handler. After years of dedicated service, they trade operational duties for a quieter lifestyle, though many still love staying active and putting their skills to use during everyday adventures.

Keep an eye out this fall as several OPP Canine members prepare to hang up their harnesses, and a few new four-legged recruits prepare to join the pack.

Every OPP canine lives at home with their handler. When on duty, they're transported in specially equipped vehicles with temperature-controlled kennels and advanced climate-monitoring systems designed to keep them safe and comfortable year-round.

It starts with training that taps into their strongest superpower... their sense of smell!

Through consistent, reward-based training, all OPP canines learn to follow human scent and stay focused on finding the source. Over time, those skills are developed and refined so they can help locate missing persons and support investigations when every second counts.
