BADGES - Traffic Enforcement Detail

Yesterday, traffic officers from Santa Cruz, Capitola and Watsonville Police joined with the CHP for a BADGES (Before Aggressive Driving Gets Everyone Stopped) enforcement detail in Santa Cruz. Each month these joint traffic operations are held in a different location in the county. In all, 75 citations were written for traffic violations including speeding, right of way and cell phone violations. Special attention was paid to school zone areas near the time students were coming to/from school.
