Spencer, Iowa (NorthwestIowaNow.com) — The Iowa State Patrol is telling motorists they will be watching us a little closer this weekend, and Officer Kevin Krull said safety is their priority.

Krull says law enforcement is stepping up seat-belt enforcement May 18th through the 31st.

Krull says troopers will remain actively on the lookout for impaired driving, distracted driving and excess speeding. But statistics prove seatbelt usage makes a difference in saving lives.
