(KLZA)--In an effort to reduce alcohol-related crashes and the potential for injuries or fatalities, the Nebraska State Patrol will conduct a special enforcement in Otoe County this weekend.
The enforcement will run from September 15-17 in conjunction with Nebraska City’s AppleJack Festival. The annual festival attracts more than 50,000 visitors from across the region.
Troopers will conduct saturation patrols and vehicle checks in and around Nebraska City during the enforcement period.
Captain Lance Rogers, Commander of Troop H, encourages drivers to voluntarily follow traffic safety laws, wear seat belts, and never drive impaired or distracted.”
The special enforcement is made possible thanks in part to a grant for $2,375 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
