The Patrol Division provides programs and training to the citizens of the county also. Some of these programs are listed below.
Smart & Sober Program – Monitors DUI/DUID, speeding, reckless driving, safety belt, child safety seat and all other traffic violations. The Wythe County Sheriff’s Office participates in this enforcement program targeting the above said violations. Quarterly, a report is filed on all charges made.
Child Safety Seat Training/Checkpoints –
Statistics show that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of injury-related death among children
14 years and younger in Virginia and throughout the nation. Through education and hands on training, the
Wythe County Sheriff’s Office desires to make a difference. The Wythe County Sheriff’s Office
periodically conducts child passenger safety seat checkpoints throughout the county to ensure that
children are buckled up and/or properly placed in their child safety seat or booster seat. Motorists
are encouraged to bring their vehicles and safety seats to the checkpoint where it will be inspected,
checked for any safety recalls, checked to see it is correctly installed and if needed, will be installed
correctly at no charge. Four out of five car seats are used wrong.
