Preliminary results from their cumulative activity yesterday are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road. To get in touch with one of our traffic deputies call\u00a0(239) 477-1000<\/a>. If you see a reckless or drunk driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.<\/p>\n

This traffic enforcement advisory is available each day on the Sheriff\u2019s Office website at\u00a0www.sheriffleefl.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
