Statewide Traffic Enforcement Program Results in Four Arrests in Waukee

Last week, the was one of 250 law enforcement agencies from around Iowa participating in a special Traffic Enforcement Program meant to take those violating traffic and other laws off the road.

If last week's police blotter is any indication, the program was something of a success.

In Waukee, the crackdown that took place March 15-18 netted three cases of operating while intoxicated and one report of driving while suspended.

No word on what Iowa's overall numbers were last week. In 2011, the Traffic Enforcement Program resulted in 18,284 traffic citations and warnings being issued statewide.

The Waukee Police Department will participate in the program again May 21 through June 2 during the National Click It or Ticket campaign.
