The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office just completed the first wave of the Smooth Operator Initiative. The Smooth Operator Initiative is a joint effort between law enforcement in DC, Maryland and Virginia which targets aggressive driving. During the first phase of Smooth Operator, Calvert County Deputies stopped a total of 117 vehicles. The following enforcement action was taken: 79 citations for speed violations, 51 warnings for speed, 17 citations for unrelated violations, 1 criminal arrest and 4 warrants were served as a result of the effort. Funding for the efforts is paid for by grant funds awarded by the Maryland Highway Safety Office. The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will continue to enforce the traffic laws in Calvert County in effort to reduce deaths on our highway. With a cooperative effort from citizens throughout this County that can be accomplished. It is our goal to rid our highways of aggressive driving and unfortunate crashes resulting from speed and driver errors. The Smooth Operator Program is an ongoing effort targeting aggressive drivers in several different waves. If you see a driver operating in an aggressive manner please call and report that driver. You may save a life!
