Virginia Beach, VA – The Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) conducted an enhanced traffic enforcement initiative throughout December. The program aimed at reducing crashes and improving driving behaviors within the city.

This “traffic blitz” was concentrated in Virginia Beach’s four precincts, targeting areas identified as high-crash locations and those highlighted by community complaints. The initiative led to 337 traffic stops and issued 390 summonses. Additionally, there were five arrests for driving under the influence and two for outstanding warrants, along with the recovery of a stolen firearm and illegal drugs.

VBPD Chief Paul Neudigate emphasized the significance of such operations in maintaining the city’s safety. He stressed the dual benefits of enhancing road safety and curtailing crime.

The Traffic Safety Unit launched this initiative to curb speeding, distracted driving, and other unsafe practices. VBPD advises all road users to adhere to safety rules and anticipates continuing similar efforts into 2025.
