Johnson County Law Enforcement Coalition is increasing traffic enforcement this month.
The coalition will participate in statewide safety enforcement during the month of January. The enforcement campaign will use federal funding to put additional officers on the roads to enforce Indiana’s impaired driving, seat belt laws, stoplights, and stop signs.
The goal of this high-visibility enforcement is to deter impaired and dangerous driving behaviors that compromise safety on Indiana’s roadways during this heavily traveled season.
Law enforcement officers will deploy special patrols designed to detect impaired drivers and will also be on the lookout for motorists and passengers, including children, who are not buckled up.
Anyone caught driving without a seat belt or transporting children who are not properly restrained will be cited, along with those who disregard stop lights or signs.
Anyone caught driving under the influence with an illegal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher will be arrested.
