The Jasper State Police Post has announced that officers will be cracking down on dangerous and impaired driving in March, as part of a statewide enforcement campaign. From February 26th through March 21, 2021, officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols showing zero tolerance for those driving aggressively, over the speed limit, or under the influence. The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through an Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) grant. On average, drunk-driving crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year in the U.S., according to NHTSA.
