The Arizona Aggressive Driver Program was started in July of 1995 as a response to some incidents of aggressive driving behavior on our freeways. GOHS purchased two unmarked Chevrolet Monte Carlos and an unmarked Dodge Intrepid. These vehicles were operated by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) in the Phoenix/Casa Grande area. This detail adopted a "zero-tolerance" policy towards aggressive driving behavior.
Since 1995, GOHS has expanded the program and purchased over twenty additional unmarked vehicles for law enforcement agencies throughout Arizona.
