Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies search a man’s car along State Road 37 in May 2019.
The Johnson County Law Enforcement Coalition is increasing traffic enforcement during the month of June.
Local deputies are participating in a statewide safety enforcement campaign which will use federal funding to put additional officers on the roads to enforce Indiana’s impaired driving, seat belt, stoplight and stop sign laws.
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, according to the coalition.
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.
Anyone caught driving under the influence with an illegal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher will be arrested.
Anyone disregarding stop lights and stop signs will also be cited.
