TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police said they stepped up traffic enforcement efforts during their Labor Day weekend operation, leading to over 1,000 traffic stops citywide.

Over the weekend, Tampa Police said they made 1,183 traffic stops, issued 1,012 warnings, and issued 531 citations citywide.
Police made 207 traffic stops, issued 103 warnings and issued 106 citations on the Courtney Campbell alone.
A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
