(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota drivers are getting fair warning – “Smokey” is looking for you. The Minnesota State Patrol says it is extending its Highway Enforcement for Aggressive Traffic program – or its HEAT program. It will run through the end of the year.
This week’s announcement means troopers will continue to have a major presence on Minnesota highways and freeways as they keep an eagle eye out for aggressive drivers, speeders, and drivers who might be drunk.
Patrol officials say the program has succeeded in reducing traffic deaths and getting dangerous drivers off the road.
