VSP to deploy high-visibility traffic enforcement initiative Saturday in Chittenden County

Vermont Business Magazine On Saturday, June 15, 2019, the Vermont State Police will deploy an aggressive traffic enforcement campaign throughout Chittenden County. This is a two-phase, high-visibility initiative. Phase 1 will employ a zero tolerance “See the Violation, Write the Violation” directive as Troopers target and identify aggressive driving violations. During this phase, police will be on the lookout for drivers who engage in this risky – and potentially life-threatening – behavior, such as speeding, failing to move over, following too closely, cellphone/hands-free violations, etc. These drivers will be issued civil and/or criminal citations as appropriate. 

Phase 2 will employ a high-intensity impaired driving saturation. If you feel different, you drive different. Troopers will seek to detect and apprehend operators who choose to drive impaired. 

Summer in Vermont, unfortunately, is accompanied with more risk-taking on behalf of the driving public as more motorists head out on the roads. This will be the first of a series of these initiatives throughout the state to proactively engage Vermonters who are the most at risk of becoming – or contributing to – a crash fatality.
