Latvian police have increased road patrols nationwide until June 28th to enhance traffic safety during the holiday season. The heightened presence aims to deter and detect impaired driving, a key focus of the operation. Officers will be actively monitoring roads for drivers under the influence of alcohol. This initiative, reported by LSM's Latgale editorial, seeks to reduce accidents and ensure public safety. The increased patrols represent a proactive measure during a period of typically higher traffic volume. Authorities have not specified the number of officers deployed or specific locations beyond a nationwide scope. The operation is intended to create a safer environment for all road users.
