The Saunders County Sheriff’s Office raised awareness about speeding to area residents during its National Speeding Prevention high-visibility enforcement campaign held July 20 through August 14, 2022. Deputies wrote 31 citations for speeding violations in the process.
Sheriff Stukenholtz stated, “Through our enforcement efforts, we believe we helped keep our community safe and reminded drivers of the importance of safe driving. Issuing tickets was not our goal, but it was a way to remind people of the importance of such a simple action.”
In Nebraska, in 2020 there were 564 people injured or killed in speeding related crashes. Speeding continues to be a major factor in injury and fatal crashes.
“Risky driving behaviors continue to contribute to rising fatalities on our roads and having our deputies work overtime issuing speeding citations will remind drivers to obey the law and drive safer,” said Sheriff Stukenholtz.
