(KLZA)--With the end of summer fast approaching, one last holiday to celebrate with family and friends is approaching.
The Falls City Police Department reminds everyone that drunk driving is deadly, illegal behavior putting the driver, their passengers and everyone else using the roadway at risk.
When enjoying the celebration, if you feel impaired by any substance, don't get behind the wheel of any vehicle.
The Falls City Police Department will join other law enforcement agencies throughout the state in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign between August 16 and September 2. The goal of the campaign is to reduce fatal and serious alcohol and impaired driving related injury crashes in Nebraska and provide safer travel for all.
During the enforcement period, officers will work overtime, conducting saturation patrols, concentrating on taking drunk / impaired drivers off the streets. The overtime campaign effort will be funded through a grant provided by the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Highway Safety Office.
Remember, Drive Safely, report unsafe driving behaviors, use designated drivers, and please, buckle up, every trip, every time.
