MISSION — Motorists in the city of Mission will have an extra sort of eyes watching their every move on busy thoroughfares in the weeks to come.
Well, sort of.
Mission RCMP announced Friday (Nov. 25) that it has welcomed a life-size cut-out of a police officer named “Constable Scarecrow” to its Traffic Unit recently. It will be used throughout the city to prompt speeders to slow down.
“Road safety is one of Mission RCMP’s priorities,” said Inspector Ted Lewko, Mission RCMP Officer-in-Charge. “The Constable Scarecrow initiative focuses on deterring speeding, which can result in collisions causing serious injury or death.”
