With students heading back to school today, Sault Police are reminding the community to drive safely – especially in school zones, around school buses, and near school crossings. Here are some tips to make September safer for everyone in Sault Ste. Marie and Prince Township:

School Zones
🚸 Obey the posted speed limit
🚸 Do not pass other vehicles
🚸 Be prepared to stop
🚸 Always yield to pedestrians

School Buses
🚌 Never pass a school bus when amber or red lights are flashing
🚌 Motor vehicles and bicycles must stop at least 20 metres away from the bus and remain stopped until the bus begins to move away

School Crossings
🛑 Obey crossing guards
🛑 Stop before the crossing and do not move until all pedestrians (including the crossing guard) have fully cleared the roadway

⚠️Friendly reminder to parents & guardians this back to school season: be careful what personal information you share online!

When documenting your child's first day back, avoid sharing details such as name, age, grade, school, teacher's name, and personal interests. Check the background of your photo to make sure house numbers, street signs, or school bus numbers aren't visible.

Back to school signs are cute, but posting them online isn't worth the risk of a stranger knowing how to connect with your child.

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day — a time to raise awareness about the impact of overdose and to promote prevention efforts in our community. Recognizing the signs of a drug overdose/poisoning, carrying naloxone, and calling 9-1-1 immediately can help save lives.

Together, we can reduce stigma, support those affected, and work toward a safer Sault Ste. Marie and Prince Township.

Thank you to the Sault Malayalee Association for the warm welcome and for your ongoing partnership. Opportunities like these help us strengthen connections, learn from one another, and celebrate the many cultures that make our community such a special place to call home.

Reminder: The Collision Reporting Centre is now located inside the Division 2 building at 180 Brock Street (collisions can no longer be reported at the Police Services Building on Second Line E.).

The Collision Reporting Centre is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (closed on weekends and statutory holidays). In-person reports are only accepted until 4:30 p.m. If you arrive after 4:30 p.m., you may need to return the next business day.🕟

To streamline the reporting process, community members can begin their collision reports online by visiting www.reportacollision.com. This secure and convenient tool is available 24/7, allowing drivers to submit key details from the comfort of their home—while the information is still fresh. After initiating a report online, drivers are still required to visit the CRC in person to have their vehicle photographed and complete the reporting process.

Curious about a career in policing? Explore that interest as a volunteer with the Sault Police Auxiliary Unit. Applications are now open.

Auxiliary Constables are dedicated volunteers who support officers during events, training scenarios, public education initiatives, recruitment, and community engagement. They also have unique opportunities to join officers on various patrols and ride-alongs.

“There’s only so much you can learn about policing from the outside. As an Auxiliary Constable, you’ll actually experience policing,” says Derek MacFarlane, Sergeant of Uniform Recruitment. “You’ll get to see first-hand whether this is a career you can picture yourself in and gain valuable training, confidence, connections, and some pretty unique experiences.”

Becoming an Auxiliary Constable has been a helpful starting point for many Sault Police Constables and Special Constables.

“I joined the Sault Police in 2017 as an Auxiliary Constable. In 2019, I became a Special Constable. In 2024, I was sworn in as a Constable,” says Cst. Nicolas Berlingieri. “Joining the Auxiliary Unit solidified my decision to pursue this career and the knowledge and experience I gained was invaluable in the application process.”

Auxiliary Constables must commit to volunteer for a minimum of two years and must attend at least three events per month. Training and equipment will be provided at no cost.

To apply or learn more about the position and eligibility requirements, please visit saultpolice.ca/auxiliary or contact Sergeant Derek MacFarlane at [email protected] or (705) 949-6300 ext. 238.

The deadline to apply is 3:00 p.m. on September 30, 2026.
