A targeted enforcement operation aims to identify and penalize the substantial number of unregistered vehicles traversing El Paso County's roads.Monument TodaySeveral law enforcement agencies in El Paso County, Colorado, including the Sheriff's Office, Colorado Springs Police, and state patrol, will be increasing enforcement of expired and unregistered vehicles from April 6 to April 11. The 'surge of enforcement' aims to address the 'substantial share' of non-compliant vehicles in the state's most populous county, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
