Captain John W. Elliott, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces Troop B officers will be conducting two Selective Traffic Enforcement Operations during the month of June 2009.
On June 20, 2009 troopers will focus their attention on alcohol-related traffic offenses on highways in Macon County, and on June 26, 2009, troopers will focus their attention on hazardous moving violations, on U.S. Highway 61, throughout the Troop B area.
