Local law enforcement departments will team up once a month in a coordinated effort called Operation: Wreck-LESS.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol, Flagler Beach Police Department and Bunnell Police Department are all participating in Operation: Wreck-LESS in an effort to address distracted driving, speeding and intersection violations, according to a FCSO press release.
High visibility, alongside education and strict enforcement, are key to reducing crashes within Flagler County, the press release said. The goal of this once-monthly operation is to enhance the safety of all motorists on Flagler County roadways, it said.
The first day of the operation was on Feb. 9 and yielded 148 traffic stops across the divisions. One hundred warnings and 50 traffic citations were issued, the press release said.
“I want to thank our enforcement partners for their high visibility enforcement,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Sadly, we ended the day with a traffic fatality that likely could have been avoided. Remember, don’t drive ‘wreck-less.’”
