In brief: NDPD patrols target distracted driving

Officers contacted 67 motorists in April for the specific offense of operating a vehicle while using a mobile communication device.

Officers focused primarily on pedestrian-heavy zones as people in these areas are more vulnerable to injuries from crashes, according to Sgt. Brian Hagen.

Funding for these extra patrols was made possible through grants and in partnership with Oregon Impact.
