ST. CHARLES POLICE TO PARTICIPATE IN “YOU DRINK & DRIVE. YOU LOSE” NATIONWIDE ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN
According to Sergeant Michael Gravemann, The St. Charles Police Department will be participating in a nationwide campaign to crackdown on impaired drivers. The enforcement effort runs from August 19 through September 5, 2005. Officers on overtime will patrol locations where alcohol related traffic crashes have occurred. Funding is provided by a grant through the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Division.
“There will be no warnings,” said Sergeant Michael Gravemann of the Traffic Safety Division. “Our message is simple. You Drink and Drive. You Lose.”
“Impaired driving is one of the most often-committed violent crimes, randomly killing or injuring someone in Missouri every one and one-half hours,” said Sergeant Gravemann
Motorists are encouraged to report impaired drivers to the nearest law enforcement agency. The phone number for the St. Charles Police Department is 636-949-3300.
