FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The California Highway Patrol is focusing on one of the most dangerous behaviors on the roadways, speeding, by launching a statewide Speed Prevention Campaign, "PUMP THE BRAKES."

"The problem is there. We send the message out and we are sending officers out to hopefully slow the traffic down," said California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Salas.

"We want you to pump the brakes and really take a look at that speedometer and make sure you are traveling at a safe speed out there."

New CHP Dodge Durangos are rolling out across the state, and Fresno has two.

They serve as a tool to catch speeders, making them perfect for this campaign.

The first Durango was put to use about a month ago.

Salas says officers in that Durango have issued 1,000 tickets in Fresno County
