The Corpus Christi Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety will be teaming up in an effort to keep the interstate and highways safe for the motoring public. The safety of all citizens on our roadways is paramount to the mission of the CCPD and DPS. As a result, both agencies will be conducting a joint operation in an effort to Stop Aggressive Driving (SAD).

Officers and Troopers will be working together to conduct speed compliance checks. Drivers found to be driving in an aggressive or illegal manner will be cited. A person who is found to be driving 20 mph or more over the speed limit or making unsafe lane changes will be considered an aggressive driver.

Officers and Troopers will focus on State Highway 181, State Highway 358 (S.P.I.D) and IH-37 for this campaign. This S.A.D. campaign will last a few days. Other joint campaigns will be planned throughout the year.

Slow down, buckle up and drive safe!

Captain Mark Gutierrez (CCPD) and Corporal Charlie Ramirez (DPS) will be available for the media on Wednesday, Feb 5th, 10:30 a.m. at the Texas Department of Public Safety Main Building.
