Putnamville State Police Post announced this week that officers will be cracking down on dangerous and impaired driving in March, as part of a statewide enforcement campaign.
From February 26 through March 21, 2021, officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols showing zero tolerance for those driving aggressively, over the speed limit or under the influence.
The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through an Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) grant.
Dangerous and impaired driving continues to be a problem especially around high-risk events like St. Patricks Day and the NCAA Tournament, said Lieutenant Dan Jones, District Commander of the Putnamville State Police Post. However you celebrate this year, do so responsibly. Slow down, buckle up, and if you drink, dont drive. Its that simple.
The conclusion of college basketball season is coming up next month and the Indiana State Police will take the floor to put a full-court press on the madness that is impaired driving.
OK, enough terrible basketball puns. In all seriousness, the ISP announced this week they ll be increasing patrols across the state throughout the month of March to crack down on dangerous and drunk driving thanks to funding provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through a grant from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).
This won t be some hide in the bushes and try to catch offenders in the act patrolling. Troopers will set up where you can easily see them so you know they re watching. This could be along the shoulder of a road, or in the median of the highway.
