Troopers often happen upon or are dispatched to assist with disabled vehicles. These calls include flat tires, mechanical issues, vehicles stuck or are out of fuel. During the month of August, Troopers assisted 2,534 motorists on Indiana roadways.
As part of Governor Braun’s public safety platform, the Indiana State Police will continue utilizing various methods in enforcing Indiana’s traffic laws with the primary goal of voluntary compliance with these laws. These may include aviation assets, dedicated patrols, wolf pack patrols, motorcycle patrols, unmarked patrol vehicles and marked Mustangs.
The overall goal is to drive down the number of crashes, injuries and fatalities. It's not about writing tickets; it's about saving lives.
Community members are always encouraged to report suspicious and/or illegal activity on our roadways to law enforcement by calling 911.
