The Madison Police Department, in partnership with the Dane County Sheriff's Office, will be providing extra patrols that specifically enforce alcohol and seatbelt laws throughout the month of October. These additional enforcement efforts are made possible through traffic overtime grants provided by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
