EMPHASIS: Troop G Prepares For Independence Day Traffic


Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer Troop G, Willow Springs, announces that Troop G will be participating in enforcement operations throughout the 4th of July weekend. The objective of these operations is to reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes. Throughout the holiday weekend, troopers within Troop G and throughout the state will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). In addition to Operation C.A.R.E., Troop G will also participate in the statewide 20-Mile Trooper project during the peak travel periods on Thursday, July 3, and Sunday, July 6. During this operation, troopers will be assigned to 20-mile stretches of U.S. Highway 60 to maximize visibility. Enforcement efforts on secondary roads will be conducted during the same timeframe within Troop G. Over the entire holiday weekend troopers will be vigorously enforcing all traffic laws and helping motorists in need of assistance.

In support of "The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths," the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
