State Police are teaming up with neighboring law enforcement agencies to crack down on dangerous driving.
Operation Wicked Safe is targeting distracted drivers and drivers under the influence.
Law enforcement agencies from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York , Rhode Island and Vermont are all participating.
In Connecticut, additional patrol units will be present on Interstate 91, Interstate 90 and Interstate 395.
In Massachusetts drivers can expect to see an increased presence of Troopers on patrol as well as a variety of specialized units supporting the operation. Priority roadways include Interstates 90, 91, 84, 93, 95 and 395, Route 146, and other roads designated by participating agencies. The goal is to enforce the law and send a clear message that dangerous driving will not be tolerated.
“Dangerous driving does not stop at state lines, and neither does our commitment to keep people safe on our roadways,” said Massachusetts State Police Colonel Geoffrey Noble. “This operation brings together dedicated State Police Troopers and specialized units from Massachusetts and all five states bordering the Commonwealth in a highly visible, coordinated enforcement effort. Our message to the driving public is straightforward: If you choose to drive dangerously, we will find you wherever you are, and you will be held accountable.”
