Tonight’s traffic enforcement is part of the Dayton Service Initiative, a program intended to reduce fatal crashes in Montgomery County through increased patrols and education.

The initiative was developed by the highway patrol, Dayton police, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Trotwood police, which were later joined by police departments in Butler Township, Huber Heights, Riverside, Moraine and Vandalia.
