During 1980, State police arrests increased by 9.6 percent to 723,737, up from 660,162 recorded in 1979. The total number of offenses known or reported increased 9.1 percent, from 772,758 to 843,154. Traffic arrests rose to 674,945, from the previous year's total of 613,473. While speeding arrests stayed about the same, with 266,563 summonses issued, troopers pulled 14,593 drinking drivers off the State's highways, a substantial gain over the 12,497 arrested in 1979. Fatal accidents investigated by troopers rose from 477 to 495. The report presents annual highlights; activities of the uniformed force, including the highway patrol; drug traffic data; information on training for recruit troopers; and personnel statistics. Photographs and data tables supplement the text. (Author abstract modified)
