ENID, OK (March 27, 2013) –
Enid Police to Address Truck Route Violators. Due to an increase of truck traffic on non- designated truck routes, the Enid Police Department will step up efforts immediately to address violators.

According to Enid Chief of Police Brian O’Rourke, “We have to protect our infrastructure. Damage to our infrastructure due to increase truck traffic is not acceptable. We have a policy of no- tolerance when it comes to truck route violators.

Enid Police officials have noticed an increase of truck traffic due to increase work activity in the area. Chief O’Rourke added, “We work closely with the OHP and may call upon the size and weights division to assist in our efforts.”
