Lake Wales Police Department is participating in the 2024 Operation Southern Slow Down.
Beginning July 15, 2024, state and local law enforcement agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee will join forces for a week long high visibility enforcement and awareness campaign to reduce fatalities and serious injuries by getting motorists to obey speed limits on roadways from local to interstate highways.
This initiative is called “Operation Southern Slow Down” and will run from July 15 through July 20, 2024. Please slow down and drive safely.
