Extra officers will be on the streets in Amarillo during the upcoming Christmas holiday.
According to the Amarillo Police Department, thanks to a Comprehensive Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant through the Texas Department of Transportation, extra officers will be on the streets over the next few days. Authorities say the officers are being directed to focus enforcement efforts on impaired drivers, speeding violators, and seatbelt/child restraint violators.
It is not clear for how the long the grant will compensate extra officers.
