Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies spent several hours last evening in a “zero-tolerance” traffic enforcement initiative. Deputies spent much of their time conducting seatbelt checkpoints at various intersections in Cordova and South-East Shelby County, locations of frequent traffic crashes.

Here’s a list of the 91 violations issued by Sheriff’s Office Deputies during the traffic safety effort.

• Speeding - 62
• Seatbelt - 10
• Disregarding Traffic Signal or Sign - 7
• No Driver’s License - 6
• Non-Moving Violation - 3
• State Registration - 2
• Child Restraint Violation - 1

Last evening’s holiday safety initiative was funded by a grant from the Governor’s Highway Safety Office. The GHSO provides money to law enforcement agencies across Tennessee to help reduce alcohol-related traffic crashes, especially those involving drivers who use alcohol under the legal drinking age of 21.
