Rock County Agencies to Participate in Impaired Driving Enforcement Task Force

According to a press release from the Beloit Police Department, law enforcement officers from several Rock County agencies will be looking to prevent impaired driving. Rock County Impaired Driving Enforcement Task Force is deploying on the following days:

• September 2-3

• September 16-17

• September 23-24

During this additional enforcement, the participating agencies will have more officers on patrol to discourage people from driving while impaired. There will be zero tolerance for driving under the influence, open intoxicants, seatbelt violations, and improper use of child safety restraints. The goal of this high-visibility enforcement is to encourage drivers to make an alternative plan so they don’t drive while drunk or high.

The Rock County Impaired Driving Enforcement Task Force includes the Rock County Sheriff’s Department and the Janesville, Town of Beloit, City of Beloit, Town of Turtle, Clinton and Orfordville police departments. Funding for the special enforcement periods is provided via a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
