Denton county speeding enforcement

This came from a family member who works at FEMA:

Press Release

Spring break speeding crackdown

The Denton County Sheriff’s Office will put more deputies on the roads to crack down on speeders during area schools’ spring breaks this month. Some Denton County school districts will be out from March 10 to March 19, while others will be out the week after.

The Sheriff’s Office has received a $15,000 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to increase driver compliance with posted speed limits by concentrated enforcement of the speed limit laws to decrease crashes, injuries and fatalities.

The funds pay the overtime costs for deputies to patrol roads with the highest percentages of speeders, as shown by a survey done last year.

Increased patrols will concentrate on U.S.377, FM 455, U.S. 380, State 121, and I-35. In addition, the grant will be used to increase patrols during other holiday periods in 2007.

“Drivers need to be aware that all schools will take a week off this month, and they need to take special caution and watch out for students on break,” said Sheriff’s Office Patrol Captain Mike Caley. “Student drivers also need to be aware that we’re going to be out there cracking down on speeders, so they need to drive responsibly to help keep Denton County safer for everyone.”

Seems like there were a few fake traffic enforcement emails that went around last year, but this one is indeed real.

No wonder I've been seeing so many cops around... I forgot it was Spring Break. I never remember because I never do anything special ;)
