ST. PAUL — The high number of speed-related traffic deaths last year has prompted the Minnesota State Patrol to hold extra speed patrols to prevent tragedies through May 19.
Each day the Patrol will team up with local law enforcement in each region of the state to conduct high-visibility patrols.
On Friday, May 14, extra patrols will be conducted in the Detroit Lakes region, which includes Becker, Clay, Douglas, Grant, Mahnomen, Norman, Otter Tail, Todd, Wadena and Wilkin Counties.
