Memorial Day Weekend marked the start of the Nebraska State Patrol’s annual “100 Days of Summer” initiative. From Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, troopers across Nebraska will be working special enforcement and education campaigns in an effort to reduce serious injury or fatality crashes.
Over Memorial Day Weekend, troopers arrested 16 drivers for impairing driving, issued 297 citations for speeding, and responded to several crashes. “No matter how far you’re traveling this summer, please do so safely,” says Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Buckle up, put the phone down, watch your speed, and never drive impaired.”
Troopers continue with the annual, summer “Click It or Ticket” campaign this week. The campaign, which is a national partnership of law enforcement agencies, runs through June 6.
