Impaired drivers targeted during holidays by law enforcement

NAPPANEE holiday drivers take to the road this season. Over 220 law enforcement agencies across the state sought out impaired drivers during Dec. 19 to Jan. 4 in order to keep all Hoosiers safe from injury while traveling Indiana’s roadways. “It is our goal to make Indiana roadways safe for all,” said Ptl.

“If you drink and drive you will be caught and you will be arrested.” The Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving, a division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, provided law enforcement agencies the funds to step up their enforcement efforts to further reduce alcohol-related crashes and fatalities in Indiana. Participants conduct mulit-jurisdictional saturation patrols in areas where alcohol-related crashes are high in an effort to help deter drunk driving. The Nappanee Police Department will continue their fight against Drunk Driving throughout the year by participating in the County Wide DUI Task Force.
