BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — This week I want to focus our Weekly Crime Prevention Message on traveling safely along Interstate 95.
Just this past week another traffic fatality occurred on I-95 and our agency is asking you to help us make I-95 safer for everyone.
In an effort to combat dangerous and aggressive driving our Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Motor Unit has partnered with the Melbourne Police Department, Palm Bay Police Department, Rockledge Police Department, Cocoa Police Department, Titusville Police Department and Florida Highway Patrol in a continuing operation that focuses on keeping our stretch of I-95 safe.
Our goal is to encourage everyone to slow down and drive safe as we do everything possible to protect our citizens and avoid further accidents on the roadway.
The following video discusses the hazards of aggressive and dangerous driving along I-95 and other major traffic areas in Brevard County while offering driving tips to help keep our motorist safe.
Please share this important information with your family and friends as we all work together to make our stretch of I-95 a safer roadway.
