Nappanee contributes to program's success

In its first efforts, the Nappanee Police Department participated in the state-funded program, Operation Pullover, sponsored by the Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving. The program is held four times each year, with a purpose of heightening awareness in the use of safety belts, child safety seats, and not drinking and driving. The NPD was part of a detailed Sobriety Checkpoint, held, in November. The checkpoint was a joint effort of the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department, NPD and the Indiana State Police. Officers observed approximately 650 cars in the three-hour period, and detained 130. At that time, 18 seatbelt violations, three criminal arrests, two drug-related arrests and two other traffic citations were issued. In this first campaign of 1998, set for March 1 -14, the NPD hopes to have similar results in the program. Each program has a targeted enforcement plan, with this program targeting child restraints and seatbelt usage. This stepped-up enforcement joins more than 200 law enforcement agencies state wide. The Operation Pullover programs aim to reduce the annual alcohol-related traffic fatalities throughout Indiana to fewer than 205, and increase seatbelt usage to 70% state wide by the end of 1998. The two safety crash dummies, Vince and Larry, will also make five stops state wide during the

upcoming campaign. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends a rear-facing seat for children, until their weight reaches 20 pounds and they are at least one year old; forward-facing until they weigh 40 pounds, and a booster seat until the child can use a seatbelt. Operation Pull Over emphasizes traffic safety for all Hoosiers by remembering the following tips: always buckle your seatbelt, no matter how short the trip is; never place a rear-facing infant seat in the front seat with air bag; keep approximately 10 inches between your breastbone and the air bag, and place children in the back seat and make sure they are properly restrained, either in a car seat belt or a child safety seat appropriate for their size and weight. Watch for increased enforcement, March 1-14. THE NAPPANEE POLICE DEPARTMENT ALSO PLANS A SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT, THE EVENING OF FRIDAY MARCH 6, ON SRI 9, NORTH OF NAPPANEE, ACCORDING TO SGT.
