The Delaware State Police, in partnership with the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, joined forces with other law enforcement agencies along the Interstate 95 corridor and across the State of Delaware in the “Drive to Save Lives” campaign. This campaign was a multi-jurisdictional, high-visibility traffic enforcement initiative that increased police presence and efforts along the I-95 corridor from Maine to Florida and across the State of Delaware.

“Drive to Save Lives” ran from Saturday, April 1st through Monday, April 3rd, 2023. In total, 644 troopers were deployed along the I-95 corridor, resulting in over 6,700 traffic citations being issued, which included 2,200 citations for speeding, 315 for aggressive driving, 199 for illegal cell phone use, 233 seatbelt violations, and 36 for improper child restraints. In addition, the campaign netted 110 DUI arrests and 25 fugitive apprehensions.

The Delaware State Police served as the lead agency for “Drive to Save Lives,” and we would like to thank all participating agencies, including the Delaware Office of Highway Safety and the Delaware Department of Transportation, for assisting with this campaign and for bringing awareness to speeding and distracted driving along I-95.
