LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – As Arkansans prepare to ring in the new year with friends and family, first responders have their eyes set on something else- safety. “There is some extra movement on the highways [at] around that midnight -1:00 a.m. time frame,” said John Woodward, the OPS Manager for MEMS. “That’s when we have the most alertness there to make sure to protect our highways, just in case people are out there that may need that.”
