Points of Interest

  • The Warren District achieved a reduction in crash fatalities for the third consecutive year. The district is on track to meet the Patrol’s strategic goal of a fatality rate of one per 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2007.
  • Alcohol was a factor in 42 percent of the district’s fatal crashes in 2005. Two district-wide OVI tactical squads were initiated by joining the most aggressive OVI enforcement officer from each post to form north and south squads. These officers and other troopers in the district made 2,597 OVI arrests to remove impaired drivers from the road.
  • Troopers visited 143 local high schools to deliver traffic safety messages. These campaigns included mock traffic crashes, “None for Under 21” events, Buckle Up for a Successful Season, and a variety of safety initiatives, which were delivered to the schools throughout the year in order to keep traffic safety on the minds of young drivers.
  • The district’s Investigative Unit conducted 600 case investigations in 2005, including work to support the Patrol’s investigation of a murder on the Ohio Turnpike in Cuyahoga County. Because many leads in the case originated from or involved western Pennsylvania, Warren investigators have been very active in this ongoing investigation.
  • Troopers were active in the Criminal Patrol program, initiating 247 felony case investigations. Seventeen troopers earned the Criminal Patrol Award for completing five or more felony case investigations with felony arrests. In addition, troopers made 63 auto larceny apprehensions.
