MEIGS COUNTY —The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office will have an increased presence in the county during the upcoming Super Bowl weekend.
Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle reports that — through funds from the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services Traffic Safety Grant — several Meigs County deputies will have the opportunity to work extra hours February 3-6, in what is labeled a “Super Bowl Blitz.”
Deputies will be watching for speeders, aggressive drivers , seat belt usage, impaired driving and other high risk traffic safety behaviors.
The intent of the state program is to increase the public perception of traffic enforcement, and as a result to save lives, reduce injuries and economic loss. Furthermore, the program intends to administer Ohio’s motor vehicle laws and to preserve the safety and well being of all citizens.
