Farmington Police Department to Intensify Enforcement of Laws

As the summer season approaches, the Farmington Police Department is dedicating its efforts to increasing awareness of safe driving to help reduce motor vehicle collisions and the injuries suffered from not wearing seatbelts.

It is important to remind the motoring public of the three basic rules of highway safety:

• Always buckle up
• Obey posted speed limits and all traffic laws
• Never drink and drive

Officers will be stepping up the enforcement of safety belt, child safety seat, speed, and DUI laws heading into the summer season. A highly visible, concentrated effort, will be conducted during the 2015 Click-It-or-Ticket campaign.

The enforcement period began on May 18 and will run through May 31.

The primary area of enforcement will be on Route 6 in the Two Mile Road area in Farmington, however, the department will enforce these laws throughout the entire town.
