Law Enforcement Working to Spot Violations of Seat Belts and Impaired Driving over Holiday Weekend

MIAMI COUNTY, Ind. – Millions of Americans will travel our nation’s highways this Thanksgiving holiday to visit family and friends. With more vehicles on the road, the chances of being involved in a crash increase greatly. The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is joining more than 230 local law-enforcement agencies across the state to spot violations to Indiana’s seat belt and impaired driving laws. Through the weekend after Thanksgiving, expect to see an increase in random patrols, saturation patrols, and checkpoints. This overtime enforcement is supported by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) funds administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).
