The Vincennes Police Department and Knox County Sheriff Department announced today they will join efforts with over 250 Indiana state and local law enforcement agencies to increase education and enforcement around dangerous and impaired driving. From Friday, March 4 through Sunday, March 27 officers across the state will conduct high-visibility patrols specifically designated to identify and intercept those driving aggressively and under the influence.
Increased enforcement during March is a statewide effort supported by federal funding allocated to Vincennes Police Department and Knox County Sheriff Department from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). Several officers will work overtime to conduct observational patrols and sobriety checkpoints around the clock.
