To the Calgary Police Service, setting up checkstops 365 days/year actually means: Christmas, Stampede, and during any large events which are held in Calgary. Although, I suppose with their recent 12MM injection of funds they could throw a few more bucks at the program.
I'm surprised they don't actually bring the bus out more often. The checkstops are a form of revenue generation as much as they are about safety. (Issuing tickets for burned out taillights, expired plate tags....) They are always touting the successes of their "18-wheeler, big truck" safety stops.
