Kearney Police Department joined law enforcement agencies across the nation July 20 through August 14, 2022 in raising awareness of the dangers of speeding and reminding citizens to obey speed limits.
During this selective enforcement campaign officers worked an additional 31 hours of overtime in addition to regular patrol, enforcing posted speed limits. 432 traffic stops were initiated from July 20 through August 14 resulting in a combined 74 written warnings and citations for speeding as well as 6 driving under the influence (DUI) arrests and 8 minor in possession (MIP) citations.
“The Kearney Police Department remains committed to traffic safety through proactive enforcement, prevention, and education opportunities. I appreciate the opportunity and funding made possible by the Nebraska Department of Transportation/Office of Highway Safety toward this traffic safety campaign, aimed at preventing crashes with speeding as a contributing factor. Great effort by our officers during this campaign, please continue to drive safe”. – Chief Bryan D. Waugh
Kearney Police Department’s participation in this campaign is funded through a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
