Full Notification

Officers from the Cayuga Heights Police Department will be joining police officers across New York State to participate in the 2022 Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee “No Empty Chair” Teen Driver Safety Initiative during the week of April 25, 2022 – April 29, 2022, designed to improve young driver safety and awareness.

Police patrols will focus on a different traffic safety threat each day of the week including cell phone use and texting while driving, speeding in school zones, seat belts and child restraints, graduated driver license provisions and underage drinking and impaired driving in the vicinity of schools and roadways commonly traversed by high school students.

Dedicated overtime enforcement to address this initiative is financed under a 2022 Police Traffic Services (PTS) grant obtained through the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

We pledge that our officers will be out there enforcing the vehicle and traffic laws over the next few months focusing our efforts to keep our young drivers and our roadways safe.
