TRI-CITIES, Wash.-The Washington State Patrol (WSP) will be conducting aerial patrols above the region starting August 17.
An airplane will fly night patrols over the Kennewick, Pasco and Richland areas, using its aerial vantage point to look for drivers committing traffic violations according to the WSP.
In a social media post WSP Trooper Chris Thorson says the aerial patrols will be looking for aggressive and reckless drivers and are another tool for the WSP to address the rise of deadly collisions across the state.
