From July 1, 2026, through July 5, 2026, you may notice an increased law enforcement presence on roadways throughout the City of Mount Vernon.
Officers with the Mount Vernon Police Department will be participating in the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), with an emphasis on promoting safe driving behaviors and enforcing traffic laws. Enforcement efforts will focus on violations that contribute to crashes and injuries, including speeding, seat belt compliance, impaired driving, and other hazardous traffic offenses.
Our goal is simple: to help keep our roadways safe and protect everyone traveling in our community during the busy holiday weekend.
We encourage everyone to:
• Obey posted speed limits.
• Buckle up—every trip, every time.
• Never drive impaired.
• Eliminate distractions while driving.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep Mount Vernon safe. Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day weekend!
Mount Vernon Police Department
