Kentucky State Police Post 15 will be conducting safety
traffic checkpoints in the Post 15 area, which includes Russell and surrounding
counties. Troopers will be checking for impaired drivers, children that are not
properly restrained in child safety seats and informing the public about the
use of seatbelts. These safety checkpoints will be conducted in various
locations throughout the Post 15 area that are experiencing a high ratio of
vehicular crashes resulting in injury and/or death compared to relatively low
safety restraint usage ratio.
