Officers from several departments will participate in an enforcement effort to focus on speed, safety belt and OVI enforcement on Interstate 75.
The three‐day initiative will begin Friday, and continue through Sunday.
The campaign, which is part of the 6-State Trooper Project will include the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Kentucky State Police and Michigan State Police.
Last year, during the same initiative, Ohio troopers cited 454 drivers for speed-related violations and 44 for safety belt infractions. The patrol also charged six drivers with OVI.
The 6-State Trooper Project is a multi-state law enforcement partnership aimed at providing combined and coordinated law enforcement and security services in the areas of highway safety, criminal patrol and information sharing.
