Memorial Day Travelers Asked to Renew Focus on Traffic Safety

Crashes killed 15 people during last year's Memorial Day weekend

During the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association, the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol will collaborate to ensure the safety of Ohioans by having officers highly visible on Ohio’s roadways to promote traffic safety.

Collectively, the agencies created a public service announcement video reminding motorists to do their part by following all the traffic laws and helping to prevent crashes.
