Hamilton County Traffic Safety Partnership recognized . . .
The Hamilton County Traffic Safety Partnership (HCTSP) was recently recognized by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA) for HCTSP’s work keeping the streets of the county safer.
Monica Greer, Director of the Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, accepted the award on behalf of HCTSP, which consists of Carmel, Cicero, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield police departments along with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
HCTSP is funded through grants that allow officers to work overtime to curb aggressive and impaired driving around the county. The group works to reduce the number of people killed and injured on county streets by striving to educate the public and to deter hazardous driving practices that may lead to serious crashes.
HCTSP also conducts sobriety checkpoints and aggressive driving patrols through the funds provided by ICJI. Hamilton County residents and roadways are safer due to the work of those involved with the Partnership.
Also recognized for his work was Deputy Kevin Crask who received a Performance Award for arresting impaired drivers. Crask has led the county in impaired driving arrests for several years and had more than 100 impaired driving arrests in 2018.
