Wisconsin State Patrol plans aerial enforcement in five counties this week
Wisconsin State Patrol pilots are scheduled to keep an eye out for traffic violations from the air this week.
Weather permitting, the State Patrol’s Air Support Unit is set to patrol in the following areas:
Monday, July 7
· I-94 – Dunn County
Wednesday, July 9
· WIS 29 – Shawano County
Thursday, July 10
· I-94 – Kenosha County
· WIS 64 – St. Croix County
Friday, July 11
· US 53 – Barron County
The State Patrol’s primary mission is public safety, which includes enforcing traffic laws to help make sure drivers reach their destinations safely.
Aerial enforcement is one way to enhance public safety efforts. From the air it’s much easier to spot drivers who are speeding or driving aggressively. When a pilot observes a violation, they communicate with ground-based units to initiate a traffic stop.
