The Dalton Police Department will take part Operation: Zero Tolerance June 19th through July 5th. Operation: Zero Tolerance is a nationwide mobilization of law enforcement agencies to combat drivers driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
The Dalton Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit, Situational Response Unit and Patrol Division will be concentrating their efforts to fight drunk driving during the campaign. Concentrated patrols and random road checks will be conducted throughout the city at strategic locations in an effort to crackdown on motorists driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
According to statistics, one out of five traffic related fatalities in Georgia are now alcohol-related. Statistics also show that drivers with blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 grams or higher are eleven times more likely to die in a crash than if involved in that same crash while they were sober.
The Dalton Police Department reminds motorists, if you plan to party, plan for a designated driver, or store taxi cab numbers in your cell phone. Please don’t become a statistic!
The Dalton Police Department also reminds motorists that drunk driving is not the only killer on our roadways. The department asks that motorist watch their speed and please obey Georgia’s Safety Belt laws to help prevent injuries and fatalities.
Thank you so much for bringing up this,its very helpful.
