What: Law Enforcement Officers across Salt Lake and Utah Counties are watching for distracted drivers. From April 6 to April 20, spotters in unmarked vehicles will look for violations of Utah’s distracted driving laws and report them to nearby marked units, which will then take appropriate enforcement action, such as educating or citing violators. A new distracted driving campaign will also launch, featuring a new campaign spot that shows the serious implications of driving distracted.
Media are invited to a blitz briefing as police agencies statewide ramp up efforts to combat distracted driving, a serious problem in Utah. Officers from 42 agencies will take on 480 additional shifts in April. One-on-one interviews and a ride-along with officers will be available following the briefing.
