DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) -This weekend Texas State Troopers will be looking for speeders, drunk drivers, and anyone not wearing a seat belt.
This time last year, the department’s Lonnie Haschel said DPS Troopers issued nearly 60,000 citations and warnings, including more than 1,000 seat belt and child safety restraint tickets. DPS enforcement efforts also resulted in 372 DWI arrests, 251 fugitive arrests and 190 felony arrests.
According to the Associated Press, DPS Director Steven McCraw said “By driving sober, wearing your seat belt, obeying traffic laws and using extra caution, you can help prevent senseless tragedies. DPS will join other law enforcement agencies in Texas to do our part to keep travelers and our roadways safe this Memorial Day holiday.”
