DES MOINES, Iowa — St. Patrick’s Day will be a busy one for law enforcement agencies in central Iowa.

Agencies that are part of the Central Iowa Traffic Safety Task Force will be stepping up their traffic enforcement efforts Thursday.

There is no specific area or time for the enforcement but the CITSTF says officers will work to cover as many areas as possible. Each agency is planning its traffic enforcement project independently.

Officers are reminding people who may be partaking in St. Patrick’s Day festivities to arrange for a sober driver.
