Tucson Police's Operation Division South Motor Squad took a different and non-traditional approach to help raise awareness for safe driving last week.

According to the department, mannequins were placed at different intersections around Tucson in an effort to lower collision statistics and urge drivers to pay better attention to their driving and what is around them. 

The mannequins were dressed like officers and placed in and around police vehicles near intersections that are or have been known for vehicle crashes, ABC15 reports.

Tucson police say the campaign will continue this week.
