Earlier this week, Austin Police Air Support and Austin Fire Department Special Operations Rescue Swimmers—jointly known as the Helicopter Search and Rescue Team (HSART)—headed to San Antonio for the Texas Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX).
This large-scale training prepares multi-state first responders for critical airborne rescues during natural disasters. HSART joined 52 other units from various agencies, utilizing nearly two dozen aircraft to execute close to 300 practice rescues during the intensive, all-day event.

Reminder: Operation Slowdown is in full swing!
All through Sunday, August 2nd, there will be additional officers on the roadways specifically looking for speeding violations.

•Match your speed to traffic, weather, and road conditions
•Increase following distance when traffic is heavy or roads are slick
•Watch for changing speed limits, especially in work zones and school zones
•Remember that fines double for speeding in active work zones and school zones
•Always buckle up—drivers and passengers—day and night. It's your best protection in a crash
#DrivelikeaTexan
#EndTheStreakTX
+++++++

Recordatorio: ¡La Operación Slowdown ya está en marcha!
Hasta el domingo 2 de agosto, habrá más policías en las calles dedicados específicamente a detectar infracciones por exceso de velocidad.

• Adapte su velocidad al tráfico, al clima y a las condiciones de la carretera
• Aumente la distancia de seguridad cuando el tráfico sea denso o las carreteras estén resbaladizas
• Preste atención a los cambios en los límites de velocidad, especialmente en zonas de construcción y zonas escolares
• Recuerde que las multas por exceso de velocidad se duplican en zonas de construcción activas y zonas escolares
• Abróchese siempre el cinturón de seguridad —tanto los conductores como los pasajeros—, de día y de noche. Es su mejor protección en caso de accidente.
