Law enforcement agencies focus their efforts on Highway 127 (SR28) and State Route 111. Both highways intersect in Pickett County at the Kentucky border and cross the Cumberland Plateau before ending in Hamilton County.

The Cumberland Crackdown will begin at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 31 and last until 2:00 a.m. Thursday, January 1. During that time law enforcement agencies will conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints along the length of these roadways.
