Statewide 'One More Stop' emphasis patrol Sept. 28 to honor fallen WSP trooper - Lynnwood Today

On September 28, the Washington State Patrol (WSP) will hold a statewide emphasis patrol named 'One More Stop' to pay tribute to fallen Trooper Christopher Gadd, who was killed by an impaired driver. This initiative is designed to raise awareness about the severe consequences of impaired driving, which remains a significant issue on Washington roads. During the patrol, law enforcement agencies will ramp up efforts to detect and arrest impaired drivers, reinforcing the message that driving under the influence is unacceptable. Trooper Gadd's sacrifice serves as a stark reminder of the risks law enforcement personnel face daily while serving the community. The WSP aims to engage the public in discussions about road safety and responsible driving practices.

Community members are encouraged to support this effort by sharing information about the dangers of impaired driving. The emphasis patrol aligns with ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety and prevent further tragedies. Ultimately, the campaign seeks to honor Trooper Gadd's legacy while promoting a culture of safety and accountability on the roads.
