State Troopers Increase Patrols Over Holiday Weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 1, 2021) – Troopers from the Indiana State Police-Fort Wayne Post will be promoting safe travel over the 4th of July holiday weekend with increased enforcement patrols.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To increase safety for all motorists, the Indiana State Police will be participating in Operation CARE (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) and DUIEP (Driving Under the Influence Enforcement Project) from July 1 to July 5th. These enforcement projects are federally funded programs that allow extra troopers to patrol Hoosier highways through the holiday period when increased traffic volume is expected.<\/p>\n

Patrol efforts will be focused on distracted and impaired driving behavior, and unrestrained drivers and passengers. During this same four day holiday weekend last year, Indiana experienced 2,345 crashes which resulted in 425 injuries and 13 fatalities. <\/p>\n

Motorists are encouraged to do your part to ensure safety on our Hoosier roadways<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
