(KLZA)--The Nemaha County Nebraska Sheriff's Office has been awarded a $50-thousand Specialized Traffic Enforcement Program grant by the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.

The grant will cover overtime hours deputies work focusing on impaired driving, distracted driving, high traffic volume events and other safety issues within Nemaha County now through September 30, 2026.

The grant requires participation in state-wide and nation-wide traffic enforcement mobilizations such as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” “Drive High, Get a DUI,” “Click It or Ticket” and “Speeding Prevention.”

While the Nemha County Sheriff's Office has participated in these mobilization programs in the past, the grant funds will allow the latituted to use grant funds for additional focused enforcement activities on other traffic dangers and concerns as well as traffic safety education activities.

The Department may use funds for specific activities such as stop light violations, not observing right-of-way in uncontrolled intersections and other traffic safety concerns at times and on dates when the issues are problematic.

In the new release announcing the grant, the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office thanked the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety for making the program possible.
