(Dearborn Co., Ind.) - Local officers are showing support for police safety after a state trooper's cruiser was struck during a traffic stop on February 15.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has an ongoing campaign running to remind all vehicles to #moveover when there is an emergency vehicle on the side of the road.
More than 150 law enforcement officers have been killed since 1997 after being struck by vehicles along America’s highways.
