On Friday, August 8th, the Dalton Police Department conducted a pair of road safety checks on city roads. At the checks, drivers were stopped and had their driver's license, insurance, and car tags checked to ensure they were up to date. Officers and employees of Safe Kids Dalton also checked to make sure that young children were secured in car seats, and that those car seats were up to date and in good working order.
A few drivers were also arrested at the road safety checks on suspicion of driving under the influence, or driving without a license.
The safety checks are performed several times a year by the police department, and another is scheduled for September. In addition to that scheduled check, the Dalton Police Department is also taking part in Operation Zero Tolerance, and will be performing additional road checks focused on keeping drivers from driving while under the influence. So, as always, make sure to stay safe on the roadways and make sure that your information is up to date. And, if you're going to drink, don't drive.
