As part of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office commitment to public safety on our roadways, an inspection checkpoint will be conducted during the week beginning May 23. The inspections will take place at an undisclosed location.

This traffic safety initiative is intended to educate and inform the public about traffic safety issues while helping to mitigate traffic fatalities, injuries, crashes and criminal activity in Lee County. Also, drivers who do not possess a valid driver’s license or may have a revoked or suspended license are identified. Individuals who have not properly registered or insured their vehicle are detected, too.

Vehicle checkpoints, saturation patrols and other coordinated activities are scheduled throughout the year in the interest of public safety. This inspection also coincides with the “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement mobilization which is taking place from May 23 through June 5 in Florida and across the United States.

Buckle up, keep your eyes on the road and make traffic safety a priority everyday!
