In an effort to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes, the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Troop E – Scottsbluff will conduct a selective enforcement in Scotts Bluff County running from Thursday, July 13 to Sunday, July 16.
The enforcement coincides with Oregon Trail Days, the Panhandle’s largest summer celebration, hosted in
Gering this weekend. Troopers will operate checkpoints and run high-visibility patrols throughout the
enforcement.
Previous NSP enforcements around Oregon Trail Days have helped to reduce the number of impaired driving
arrests by promoting sober driving.
The special enforcement is paid for in part by a grant for $3,430 from the Nebraska Department of
Transportation Highway Safety Office (NDOT-HSO).
