According to the Amarillo Police Department, Amarillo has received Comprehensive Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant again this year from the Texas Department of Transportation. The grant will allow APD to place additional officers on the streets during the Christmas and New Year’s holiday celebrations. Officers will be focusing on impaired drivers, speeding violators, and seatbelt/child restraint violators, according to APD.
In announcing the grant, APD asks drivers to be vigilant to reduce road accidents this holiday season. According to APD, local drivers should “slow down, wear our seat belts, and get where we need to go safely.”
