Nebraska State Patrol troopers took part in a special enforcement effort in conjunction with the Super Bowl. The campaign included numerous law enforcement agencies across the state and country.
Over the weekend NSP troopers arrested 18 motorists for driving under the influence. They also issued 144 speeding citations, 13 for driving under suspension and two for no seat belt. Troopers also responded to 63 motorist assist calls.
NSP’s effort was made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office. Troopers will participate in many additional traffic safety initiatives throughout the coming spring and summer months.
