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.

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

Everyone is reminded to \u201cFasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.<\/p>\n
