Clarkstown Cops Begin Young Driver Outreach

In partnership with the NYS Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, the Clarkstown Police Department will participate in a Statewide Traffic Enforcement Initiative and assigning patrols to focus on a different traffic safety threat each day of the week in the vicinity of our high schools.

In light of the death Monday of a Minisink High School senior, whom police believe lost control of the car he was driving, the program takes on renewed urgency.

Yesterday was about speeding in school zones. Here's the schedule for the rest of the week:

• Tuesday – Seatbelts and Child Restraints;
• Wednesday – Cell Phone Use and Texting;
• Thursday – Operation Safe Stop
• Friday – Underage Drinking and Impaired Driving
