HUTCHINSON, Kan. — During the Thanksgiving Safe Arrival traffic enforcement campaign just completed, the Hutchinson Police Department conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively target the impaired driver. 

Over the period, Nov. 20 to Nov. 29, officers conducted two DUI arrests and issued five speeding citations, along with 10 other citations and arrests. In all, officers made 59 enforcement stops during the campaign.

While this particular campaign may be over, HPD says it will always be vigilant in the enforcement of Kansas traffic safety laws.

The Thanksgiving Safe Arrival traffic enforcement campaign was supported by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation.
