Saturation Patrol
Saturation patrols are conducted throughout the year in many
different locations in the county. The goal of the
saturation patrol is to reduce traffic violations and to
reduce the number of accidents in a small area. The areas
that we work on are speed, seatbelt, and alcohol
violations. Stats have shown that these violations have
been leading causes of fatal accidents nationwide. If you
have a request for a saturation patrol, please
contact us. |
