Troopers in southwestern Connecticut will be looking for intoxicated, aggressive and unsafe drivers, spokesman says.
The State Police announced Tuesday troopers will be conducting roving patrols in southwestern Connecticut over the Thanksgiving Day weekend looking for intoxicated drivers and operators who are driving aggressively or unsafely.
In a news release, State Police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance said the patrols are part of Operation CARE, the Combined Accident Reduction Effort.
Vance said uniformed troopers “will use our non-traditional patrol cars to observe traffic and issue tickets to reckless, distracted drivers.” He urged the public to call 911 if they encounter a suspected drunk driver.
