(St. Joseph County, IN) - Police started beefing up their presence today around the new Amazon data center going up outside New Carlisle to try and increase safety. 

The ongoing construction has brought more traffic in the area of Indiana 2 and U.S. 20.

As a result, police said more drivers have been speeding, multiple crashes have occurred and some people living nearby have had trouble getting out of their driveways.

Police will be working with the Indiana Department of Transportation and Amazon to address the concerns.
