Licking’s Police Department focused extra enforcement efforts March 13-15 on impaired driving laws.
During the effort, officers issued 25 citations and warnings for various violations. “Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is never worth the risk of a tragedy. We’re working to keep our roads safer,” said Police Chief Scott Lindsey.
Driving while intoxicated remains one of the top causes of fatal car crashes in Missouri. In 2007, 243 people in Missouri were killed in more than 7,780 alcohol-related crashes. Enforcement efforts like this one help to take impaired drivers off the road and make travel safer in Missouri, he said.
