Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey says deputies will be conducting a traffic enforcement blitz to correlate with the "Click It or Ticket" campaign. Extra patrols will be working over the Memorial Day weekend to ensure the safety of our community during weekend activities.
In an effort to ensure the safety of the motoring public, the sheriff’s office will be enforcing a Zero Tolerance Policy on speeding, drunk driving, and seatbelt violations. Marion County residents are urged to obey traffic laws and have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
These extra patrol activities were made possible through a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Highway Safety Office. The grant was awarded to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in a continued effort to lower traffic accidents related to alcohol, speed, and seatbelt violations. Motorists are to expect to see deputies enforcing traffic safety countywide.
Sheriff Bailey says he and his deputies are committed to keep Marion County roadways safe for all residents and visitors.
The Marion City Police Department is also involved in this same campaign, as is the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
