The story

Chesterfield Police deployed approximately 13 officers on July 23, 2026, for a traffic enforcement operation on Hull Street Road, focusing on dangerous driving behaviors and promoting attentive driving. The location was selected through a social media poll in which about 400 residents voted for Hull Street Road as a priority patrol area.

Officers used LIDAR speed detection devices to monitor vehicle speeds and targeted violations including speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, red light running, seat belt use, and impaired driving. During the operation, officers observed at least one driver traveling at 100-102 mph while cutting in and out of traffic. Drivers were also warned for holding mobile phones while driving.

"We have about 13 police officers working today focusing on Hull Street alone," said Sgt. Kyle Easton. The department emphasized the safety message "Be present behind the wheel," urging drivers to remain mindful and aware of other motorists. Corporal Lucas Curtis noted the importance of recognizing shared road space: "We forget that we're not the only person that's on the road."

Sgt. Easton highlighted how officer experience with serious consequences motivates enforcement efforts, noting that officers have delivered death notifications and use that perspective to reinforce traffic safety. Police indicated that results from the operation would be released the following week.
