BRODHEAD - Multiple police agencies throughout Green County collaborated to conduct a safety enforcement operation in Brodhead Friday.
Officers from the police departments of Brodhead, Orfordville, Belleville and New Glarus were joined by deputies from the Green County and Rock County sheriff's departments for four hours Friday evening.
The officers were instructed to focus on high-risk driving behaviors that can lead to traffic crashes, according to a Brodhead Police press release.
Twenty-nine drivers were stopped throughout this period, with warnings issued to each one. Police also issued four citations: one for driving with a revoked license, one for failing to install an ignition interlock device and two for speeding.
The cost of the deployment was offset by a $10,000 traffic safety grant issued by the Wisconsin Bureau of Transportation Safety to the Brodhead Police. The bureau determined that Brodhead had a disproportionate number of traffic crashes for a city of its size.
This is the third year the Brodhead Police Department has conducted a multijurisdictional traffic safety deployment.
