(ECPD gets a grant)…It is for Traffic Education and enforcement.

The El Centro Police Department has been awarded a $70,000 Grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety for a yearlong enforcement and public awareness program. The traffic safety program is intended to educate the public on safe roadway habits and deter people from violating traffic laws or practicing other unsafe behaviors that lead to injuries and fatalities. The grant funds will also be used for DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols.
