More departments announce holiday enforcement blitz.
Jackson and Jennings County police and deputies are taking part in a holiday season enforcement blitz against aggressive and impaired driving.
The Seymour Traffic Safety Partnership and Jennings County Sheriff’s Department are announcing that they taking part in the Safe Family Travel campaign, lasting through the holidays.
The campaign focuses on discouraging impaired and aggressive driving, and proper use of seat belts. Officers will be working overtime conducting sobriety checkpoints and extra patrols.
