Here is a snapshot of the work Indiana State Police Troopers accomplished during the month of August. On top of these enforcement efforts troopers were busy helping in communities across Indiana that were hit with devastating weather.

Our enforcement efforts are below ⬇️

The Enforcement Bureau of the Indiana State Police oversees the traffic enforcement efforts of the Troopers assigned to the 14 State Police Districts throughout Indiana. Among their primary missions is helping to provide safe environments on our roadways for everyone.

As a result of strategic enforcement efforts, Troopers throughout Indiana documented the following statistics for August 2026.

Traffic Stops – 32,050

14,790 traffic citations
25,272 traffic warnings
333 drunk driving arrests
1,393 criminal arrests (traffic related)
862 criminal arrests (non-traffic related)
1,276 seatbelt citations
211 distracted driving citations
Crashes Investigated – 1,344
Personal injury crashes – 206
Fatal crashes - 5
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.

🛣 TOLL ROAD TUESDAY: LEFT LANE FACTS 🛣

On a roadway that has two or more lanes of traffic in each direction:

🚘 A vehicle should not travel at less than the speed limit in the left lane

🚘 If traveling in the left lane and a vehicle approaches from the rear, move to the right lane

This is commonly called the Left Lane Camper Law

This does not apply:

🚗🚙🚛🚐When traffic is congested, when weather, hazards, or obstructions require movement to the left lane.

🚔 Emergency vehicles are also exempt from the left lane law

👀 All the details are in Indiana IC 9-21-5-9

Keep traffic flowing, drive safe, and buckle up!

Passing lane or fast lane-what do you call it?
