Operation Pull Over Blitz 54: Seat Belts and DWI

PENDLETON, IN -  Lt. Kevin Rees, Commander of the Pendleton Post, has announced the Pendleton State Police Post will be participating in Blitz 54 of Operation Pull Over.  This blitz is entitled Seat Belts and Driving While Intoxicated. 

The two week enforcement blitz and corresponding media awareness will begin on Friday, March 7 and continue through Sunday, March 23.  The goal of this high visibility enforcement blitz is to deter impaired and dangerous driving behaviors that compromise safety on Indiana roadways.     

Pendleton State Police Squad Sergeants will set up saturation patrols during this Blitz 54 period targeting those driving under the influence and driving without wearing their seat belts.  As of February 22 there had been 85 motorist killed in car crashes compared to 112 at this time last year.  The fatal count in Hamilton County is one, Madison County one, and Hancock County none. 

The Seat Belts and Driving While Intoxicated campaign is sponsored by the Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving.  Federal funding for the initiative is provided by the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA).
