NCSO campaign to target aggressive driving behaviors

Submitted by the Niagara County Sheriff's Office

The Niagara County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners across the county (New York State Park Police, Niagara Falls Police Department, North Tonawanda Police Department, Town of Niagara Police Department, Lewiston Police Department, Middleport Police Department, Somerset Police Department, New York State Police, Lockport Police Department, Youngstown Police Department), announces a traffic enforcement campaign focused on aggressive driving behaviors.

Law enforcement continues to receive traffic-related complaints across Niagara County. Accidents show concerning trends with many of them caused by unsafe speeds, traffic control violations, and driver inattention.

This countywide campaign with our partners is aimed at increasing the safety of our roadways.

These increased patrols will begin Monday, April 22, and will continue through Friday, April 26. This will be a strict enforcement period to address driving behaviors affecting all of us on the roadways of Niagara County.

Sheriff Michael Filicetti said, "Aggressive driving continues to be a problem that leads to motor vehicle collisions. Every police agency in Niagara County will be working on this effort to reduce the hazards on our roadways."
