What are saturation patrols?
Saturation patrols are concentrated enforcement efforts that target impaired drivers by observing moving violations such as reckless driving, speeding, aggressive driving, and others. Motorists and motorcyclists are evaluated on an individual basis because certain behaviors have been displayed to law enforcement officers while the vehicle is in motion. Well-publicized saturation patrols educate the general driving public that breaking traffic laws is a serious problem and that violators will be punished.
