The Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office is joining law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign from Wednesday, August 18 through Labor Day (September 6). Someone is killed in an alcohol-related traffic crash every three hours in Wisconsin. Drugged driving is also a growing problem in our state. This statewide law enforcement partnership aims to keep people safer on the roads by eliminating the risks of impaired driving.
“Traffic deaths and injuries are preventable,” Sheriff Kowalczyk said. “Whether it’s alcohol, legal prescriptions or illegal drugs, impaired drivers endanger everyone. As the summer travel season comes to an end, we want all drivers to be responsible.”
