The Greendale Police Department has joined the High Visibility Enforcement program along with the Southeast Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force to arrest drunk drivers according to Greendale Police Chief Rob Dams.
Since the program began many drivers are now trying to sidestep the freeway system in Milwaukee County by using other through fares such as Highway 36 and South 76th Street to avoid detection.
The deployment is called “Stop, Test, Arrest” with the goal of reducing the number of Operating While Intoxicated traffic deaths and injuries. The ultimate goal is to create voluntary compliance with OWI laws.
