Members of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Community Action Target Team (CATT) participated in “Put the phone away or pay” campaign. During the month of April members of CATT focused specifically on distracted driving, however, did stop motorist for other violations. As a result, CATT members stopped 93 motorists, resulting in 63 warnings, 33 citations, and 4 arrests.
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office urges motorists to put the phone away and focus on the roadway. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office will continue to focus on the five fatal behaviors that cause crashes: lane safety, occupant safety, distracted driving, speed, and impaired driving.
