Columbia Police to increase enforcement during December for dangerous driving violations
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
During the month of December, Columbia Police Department will increase enforcement of hazardous moving violations and impaired driving violations through the month of December.
According to police, nearly half of all crashes (47%) were caused by speeding, following too close, failure to stop at a stop signal/sign and lane violations last year.
Since the beginning of 2020, Columbia Police arrested 190 people for driving while intoxicated.
Officials say enforcement events will involve both on-duty personnel who are working regular shifts along with officers working overtime that is funded by grants provided through the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Division of Highway Safety.
