Troop C to Conduct Enhanced Motor Vehicle Enforcement

In preparation for the Fourth of July hjoliday, troopers from Connecticut State Police Troop C in Tolland will conduct grant-funded DUI roving patrols during the late evening hours of July 3 through July 7.

In addition, a DUI Spot Check will be staffed at the intersection of Route 190 and Shaker Road in Somers. This DWI enforcement project will primarily consist of Troop C personnel detecting and apprehending intoxicated drivers. 

Lt. John Albanese is advising motorists that in addition to DUI enforcement, troopers under his command will also actively enforce all of Connecticut’s motor vehicle laws. This will include speeding, illegal use of hand-held devices, seatbelt violations, and aggressive driving. 

Additional special enforcement projects will take place on June 29 and July 6.  Our efforts will be concentrated in the towns of Tolland, Ellington, Stafford, Somers, Mansfield, Willington, Union, and Ashford as well as the limited access highway on I-84 from Vernon to the Massachusetts line.
