You may have noticed an increase in traffic enforcement lately. Not only is it "Click it or Ticket" season, but officers will be working federal Highway Safety all year. Here are today's results from 6pm-9pm;

Seatbelt violations - 1
Speeding violations - 8

The area of focus was mostly Dixie Highway in Lakeside Park but there was some enforcement on I-275 as well. Today's highest speed caught on Dixie Highway was 56mph in the 35mph zone and I-275's top speed was 85mph in a 65mph zone.

Please drive safely!

Please join us in congratulating Patrolman Amanda Armstrong on receiving the "Exceptional Duty Award" tonight at the Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills Police Authority Board meeting! On March 20, 2024, Patrolman Armstrong assisted in the safe and successful delivery of a baby inside a motor vehicle!

Click it or Ticket campaign starts today! Wear your seat belt!

No Good Excuse There’s no good excuse for not buckling up. In 2016, 10,428 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes weren’t wearing a seat belt - an increase from 2015...

According to the KOHS, of the 813 roadway deaths last year in Kentucky, 550 were occupants of motor vehicles. Of those killed in motor vehicle crashes, 50.9% (280) were either not wearing a seat belt or were not properly restrained in a car seat or booster seat.
The Click It or Ticket campaign will run May 20 through June 2. Our officers are committed to heavy enforcement during this time, so please buckle up!

UPDATE on Code Red Alert:
On 04/21/24 at approximately 7:24 PM, LPCHPD officers responded to a 4-vehicle injury collision at the intersection of Turkeyfoot Road and Town Center Blvd. Just prior to the officers’ arrival, a male driver involved in the collision fled on foot from the scene towards Thomas More University. In response, our officers set up a perimeter, issued a Code Red to the residents of Thomas More University and the immediate area, and conducted a thorough search. The searched ultimately determined that the male subject was no longer in the area. Therefore, the Code Red was lifted. This case is still under investigation. Anyone with further information that could be helpful to our investigation, please contact our agency at 859-331-5358.

Super Bowl LVIII Viewers Reminded ‘Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk’
Kentuckians encouraged to plan for a safe ride home

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Feb. 5, 2024) – Regardless of who Kentuckians choose to root for during Super Bowl LVIII, state officials are cheering on fans to make responsible choices behind the wheel. For those hosting a Super Bowl viewing party or attending one on Sunday, Feb. 11, fans have an important job to do: help keep impaired drivers off the road so everyone can make it home safely on game night.

“As Kentuckians gear up for America’s most-watched sporting event, fans are reminded to plan for a sober designated driver,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “Enjoy the big game, but please be responsible.”

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is teaming with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a “Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk” reminder urging football fans to drive sober and avoid a major fumble.

“Drugs and/or alcohol not only hinder your ability to drive, but also affect your judgment about whether you can or should drive,” said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. “Impaired driving-related crashes are 100% preventable when you plan before the party begins.”

According to KYTC, preliminary numbers indicate 130 people in Kentucky were killed in crashes that involved a drunken driver in 2023.

“No matter what you choose – a sober friend, taxi service or ride-booking company – we want you to arrive at your destination safely,” said Secretary Gray. “Celebrate responsibly and remember to buckle up. A seat belt is your best defense against an impaired driver.”

To prevent impaired driving-related crashes, the KOHS recommends the following:

Before festivities begin, plan a way to safely get home at the end of the night;
*If impaired, use a ride-booking company or taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
* If you see an impaired driver, safely pull over and contact law enforcement. You may dial the Kentucky State Police toll-free line directly at 800-222-5555 or call 911;
*If you know people who are about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to their destination; and
*Wear a seat belt! It is not only the law, it is the best defense against an impaired driver. Buckling up helps prevent injury and death if involved in a crash.
