Rutherford County Traffic Safety Task Force officers will team up to concentrate on enforcing the speed limit, distracted driving and seat belt safety during “Operation Look-Out” Friday, Jan. 22.
Task force officers from Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD), Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Highway Patrol will patrol in designated areas of the city and county from 8 a.m. to noon.
They will concentrate on traffic safety from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Medical Center Parkway at the corner of Memorial Boulevard in Murfreesboro.
Murfreesboro Police Sgt. Greg Walker said a vast majority of crashes over the past six weeks have been rear-end collisions because drivers are distracted and following too closely.
“Our goal is to save lives,” Gensemer said.
