Indiana law enforcement will begin the annual road safety campaign on Nov. 26, 2025.

As almost 2 million Hoosiers prepare for Thanksgiving travel, police in Indiana will start working overtime for the state’s annual road safety campaign.  
 
Starting Wednesday, travelers will see more sobriety checkpoints, larger police presence and other deterrents to dangerous driving, according to a release. 
 
Law enforcement officers begin working overtime Wednesday, focusing on impaired driving, aggressive driving and seat belt violations.  
 
The annual Safe Family Travel campaign, held in partnerships with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, will run through December.  
 
“By buckling up, slowing down, and never driving impaired, we can all help make Indiana’s roads safer this season,” said Douglas Huntsinger, executive director of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
