Wisconsin State Patrol Plans Aerial Enforcement in Four Counties Next Week
Wisconsin State Patrol pilots are scheduled to keep an eye out for traffic violations from the air next week.
Weather permitting, the State Patrol’s Air Support Unit is set to patrol in the following areas:
Monday, June 8
· I-43 – Ozaukee County
Tuesday, June 9
· I-94 – Dunn County
Thursday, June 11
· US 53 – Eau Claire County
Friday, June 12
· US 51 – Marathon 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.
Many aerial enforcement missions are announced publicly to reinforce State Patrol’s goal to improve safety through voluntary compliance with traffic laws, not simply to stop or cite drivers.
