WSP Announce Emphasis Patrols For SR-410, SR-167 This Weekend
Drivers will want to be on their best behavior in East Pierce County this weekend, because troopers will be paying attention.
SUMNER, WA — The Washington State Patrol will have extra troopers patrolling two East Pierce County highways this weekend, in what the agency says is a coordinated effort to reduce serious injury and fatality collisions.
The emphasis patrol will run from Friday, Nov. 19 through Monday the 22nd. During that time, extra troopers will be patrolling State Routes 410 and 167. Troopers won't be hiding — this is a "high visibility enforcement effort" — and say that they hope the extra law enforcement presence will help community members make the right decision, and drive safely.
According to Washington State Patrol data, there have been more than 250 collisions on SR-167 and SR-410 in 2021 alone.
