Special Holiday Traffic Enforcement Complete
Troopers Cited 724 Drivers Over Three-Week Special Enforcement Effort
January 8, 2021 (Anchorage, AK) – Over the nearly three-week special traffic enforcement effort, Alaska State Troopers and Wildlife Troopers issued 724 citations and investigated 148 collisions across Alaska’s roadways.
“The holidays are a memorable time for many Alaskans, but far too often festivities involved drinking and driving, which puts the lives of too many in jeopardy,” said Colonel Bryan Barlow, Director of the Alaska State Troopers. “Troopers have zero tolerance for driving under the influence, and when you are caught, you will be arrested and brought to jail. Always make a plan to get home safely by calling a cab, using a rideshare program, or staying the night.”
