On Thursday evening, Sept. 19, officers from the following law enforcement agencies and organizations conducted a Saturation Patrol throughout Wake Forest and Rolesville: Wake Forest Police Department, Rolesville Police Department, Zebulon Police Department, Knightdale Police Department, Wake County Sherriff’s Office, NC State Highway Patrol, NC Division of Public Health, Forensic Tests for Alcohol, and MADD (see attached photo). These agencies operated under territorial/subject matter jurisdiction or existing mutual aid agreements.
The detail was designed to “saturate” Wake Forest and Rolesville with law enforcement to reduce crashes that result in property damage, injuries, and deaths due to motor vehicle violations. Such violations include, but are not limited to, impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, reckless driving, aggressive driving, racing, and lack of seatbelt use.
The operation yielded 98 traffic-related charges which included:
- 24 Speeding violations
- 10 No operator’s license
- 7 Driving while license revoked
- 4 No liability insurance
Police also arrested two individuals – one for DWI and the other for a concealed weapon violation.
The Wake Forest Police Department wishes to thank all the personnel involved.
