Dear Editor,

I noticed that officers with the Kosciusko County Traffic Safety Partnership have been commissioned during the two weeks beginning on April 5 to help enforce the law against distracted driving in our county.

My wife and I thank you. Hopefully, this is a start of a larger campaign to enforce a law that was passed by the state in 2020 and has been ignored by such a large portion of our driving public. Distracted cellphone drivers are just as severe a hazard for the public as drunken drivers.

Let’s keep our children and families safe.
