 Road
Watch - report dangerous, aggressive driving.
To report any incidences of unsafe driving, fill in the Road Watch printable
Citizen Report Forms [PDF]. Completed Citizen Report Forms can be
dropped off at Markham Village Community Centre, 6031 Hwy 7 (Hwy 7 &
Main St Markham) OR fax to York Regional Police Station 5
District Headquarters at 905-513-0679.
Road Watch - How the Citizen Report is Processed
The first time a citizen report is received, a letter
is sent to the plate owner describing the incident and
location where the vehicle was observed as operated in a
dangerous, aggressive manner. The letter highlights the
date, location and the reported violation. A request is
made to the registered owner or any driver of the
vehicle to voluntarily cooperate and drive in a
responsible manner on our roads.
The second time a citizen report is received on the
same licence plate owner, a repeat letter is sent from
the police with personal contact from a police officer
to address the problem.
A third report/complaint directed at the same plate
owner will result in a third letter and a personal visit
from a police officer. Depending on the circumstances,
charges will be considered and an officer may monitor
the vehicle's actions to allow enforcement if the action
is repeated.
You will remain anonymous, unless you choose to
pursue a detailed police investigation that may result
in charges being laid and require a court appearance.
When you send in the report form, it is important
that you sign it and make it as complete as possible to
safeguard the system against abuse. Unsigned Citizen
Report Forms will not be processed. Be assured that any
personal information is for statistical use only and is
held in the strictest of confidence by York Regional
Police under the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act. Your name will be kept confidential and
not disclosed.
