On Thursday, April 11, 2019, officers with the Newberg-Dundee Police Department participated in a nationwide effort to bring attention to distracted driving issues. In partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact, a team of NDPD officers performed a four hour block of targeted enforcement that resulted in 26 traffic stops. Officers issued 24 citations for cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle. Six citations were issued at other times of the day for a total of 30 cell phone violations.
Use of cell phones and other mobile electronic devices has become a significant contributor to motor vehicle crashes. The Newberg-Dundee Police Department is committed to the ongoing education and enforcement of traffic issues that adversely affect our community.
