AUGUST/LABOR DAY CRACKDOWN
MCSO Launches Intensive Crackdown On Impaired Driving
-- Vow to Arrest Everyone Found Driving ‘Over the Limit’
MOHAVE COUNTY –The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office today announced it would join other police agencies throughout the country in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving this August 15–September 1. Agencies in the Western Arizona DUI Task Force will be out in force during this national crackdown, known by its tagline: Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.
In 2006 alone, nearly 13,500 people died in crashes in which the driver or motorcycle rider was legally impaired, according to the latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Among them were 306 children under age 15 — innocent victims of crashes that could have been avoided.
“All too often, innocent law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disregard for human life. Because we’re committed to ending the carnage, we’re intensifying enforcement during the crackdown. We’ll be especially vigilant during high-risk nighttime hours when impaired drivers are most likely to be on our roads,” said Sgt. Don Bischoff, MCSO DUI Task Force Coordinator.
Across the country, law enforcement officers will be out in support of the high-visibility crackdown conducting saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints. The crackdown will be supported by television and radio ads targeted to young male drivers, who are the most common perpetrators of this deadly crime.
In every U.S. State as well as the District of Columbia it’s illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. More than 10,000 police agencies will participate in this year’s mid-August through Labor Day crackdown, including law enforcement officers representing every State, the District of Columbia, and many U.S. cities and towns.
According to the latest data, 32 percent of motor vehicle driving fatalities involved a driver or motorcycle rider with a BAC or above an average of one fatality every 39 minutes.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office said its officers will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone they find driving while impaired — regardless of age, vehicle type, or time of day.
“Our message is simple and unwavering. If we find you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions,” said Bischoff. “Even if you beat the odds and walk away from an impaired-driving crash alive, motorists should be aware that the consequences of driving while impaired can still virtually destroy your life."
“Driving impaired is simply not worth all the consequences. So don’t take the chance. Remember, if you are over the limit, you’re under arrest,” said Sgt. Bischoff.
The national Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest crackdown is led by NHTSA and combines high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity.
