DPS Out in Force Over Thanksgiving Holiday

The Arizona Department of Public Safety will be out in force on Wednesday as part of Operation Safe Passage.

The day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year and Operation Safe Passage is designed to get drivers to their destinations safely.

DPS officers will be stationed every 10 miles on Interstates 8, 10, 17 and 40 in rural areas and about every two miles in metropolitan areas.

DPS says the goal is to be able to respond to traffic incidents quickly and execute a “zero tolerance” approach to traffic infractions such as speeding, unsafe lane changes and following other cars too closely.
