Morrison County Sheriff Shawn Larsen reports law enforcement agencies in Morrison County will participate in the Distracted Driving Enforcement Mobilization next week.
The Morrison County Board of Commissioners proclaimed April 30 as distraction-free driving day in Morrison County. The sheriff's office will have extra patrol staff April 30 for distracted and inattentive driving enforcement purposes.
Larsen wants to remind motorists that distracted driving includes taking your eyes off the road, taking your hands off the wheel and taking your mind off the primary task of driving. Texting and driving involves all three of the different types of distraction.
The sheriff's office main objective is the safety and security of citizens and to reduce risk of injury and death caused by distracted or inattentive driving.
