OVPD receives grant to combat collision-causing driving behavior

ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (July 21, 2022) – The Oro Valley Police Department (OVPD), through financial support from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (AZGOHS), has received $64,528.00 in funding during Fiscal Year 2022 to support the purchase of a vehicle specifically dedicated to detecting and addressing hazardous collision causing driving behaviors. In addition to being deployed on the main thoroughfares of the Town, the vehicle will be utilized to address traffic safety concerns voiced by the community.

OVPD is committed to preventing senseless injuries and fatalities due to speed-related collisions, reckless driving behavior, and distracted driving. We would like to thank AZGOHS Director Alberto Gutier and his staff for their continued partnership and support toward this effort.
