SD Troopers amp up patrols over Labor Day weekend

Posted:

If you do plan to hit the road this holiday weekend, don't be surprised to see a whole lot of law enforcement.
 
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is working overtime this weekend to try and keep you safe on the roads.  The Operation Safe saturation patrol, involving virtually all uniformed members of the South Dakota Highway Patrol, is the final major push in a summer - long education and enforcement campaign called 100 days of heat.


According to the state office of accident records, about half of South Dakota's traffic fatalities occur during the summer months.
 
The focus of 100 days of heat campaign is on drunk driving, speeding and seatbelt use, which are major factors in many injury and fatal highway crashes.
