OSHP helps with Youngstown's SIP efforts

YOUNGSTOWN — An unusually large number of Ohio State Patrol cruisers patrolled city streets today.

Officials at the OSP's Canfield post said the OSP officers were in town to help with Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams' zero-tolerance effort to fight crime, now dubbed Special Interdiction Patrol, or SIP. Part of that effort is extra strict enforcement of all traffic codes.
