Law enforcement agencies across Central Oregon are collaborating once again through the re-formed Multi-Agency Traffic Team. Officers and deputies from multiple departments will focus exclusively on curbing unsafe driving and making local roads safer. Deschutes County Sheriff Ty Rupert emphasizes that speeding remains the number one complaint from residents. The sheriff noted that a specific, dedicated team is being reinstated due to population growth and increasing roadway incidents. Notably, Deschutes County experiences a higher rate of serious crashes linked to DUI compared to most Oregon counties.
