Enhanced Traffic Enforcement Planned This Month
The police department’s December weekend traffic enforcement program will emphasize enhanced visibility on Nashville’s roadways and zero tolerance for aggressive and impaired drivers.
Extra duty officers being paid through a Governor’s Highway Safety Office grant will be working Friday and Saturday nights throughout the month of December looking for motorists who choose to drink and drive this holiday season. The additional officers will complement the enforcement efforts of the police department’s DUI Unit. So far this year, 47 percent of drivers involved in fatal crashes were under the influence.
“We are very serious about getting impaired and drunk drivers off our streets before they injure or kill innocent persons,” Chief Ronal Serpas said. “DUI enforcement by dedicated police officers is having a positive impact in reducing injury and fatality crashes.”
Through November of this year the men and women of the department have charged 5,033 persons with DUI; an increase of nearly 3% compared to this time last year.
The number of traffic fatalities this year (64) is down seven percent compared to this time last year. The number of fatal crashes (60) is down six percent from this same time last year.
