Police agencies are being asked to conduct “Stepped-Up Enforcement” along area roads later this month in an effort to reduce crashes and other driving related offenses, according to authorities. Various checkpoints are expected to be held as part of the increased focus to prevent crashes and traffic-related fatalities, said Cpl. Shannon Toole with the Myrtle Beach Police Department’s traffic division. Myrtle Beach police also are planning to hold a checkpoint on Nov. 16 along Robert Grissom Parkway in the city, Toole said.
