(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — Two police departments in Southern Colorado have revealed how many violation citations they wrote during the recent Registration Enforcement period that occurred the last week of September.
Registration Enforcement took place from Sept. 22 through Sept. 28. Various law enforcement agencies participated in hopes of cracking down on expired vehicle registration and unregistered vehicle violations on roads and highways.
The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) reported a whopping 351 registration violation citations during the enforcement period. While the Pueblo Police Department (PPD) wrote 33 registration violations during the seven-day period.
Law enforcement decided to perform the enforcement after citizens voiced their concerns over vehicles with expired registrations or no registration at all. Although the enforcement period has ended, the agencies plan to continue intentional enforcement of these violations in the future.
CSPD advises the community to ensure their vehicle is up to date. Individuals can register their vehicle, renew registration, and more at dmv.colorado.gov.
