The Loveland Police Division will be joining more than 950 Ohio law enforcement agencies August 19 through Labor Day 2011 during the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. This program targets impaired drivers and is a prevention program organized by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that focuses on combining high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness.

Loveland Officers will be out in full force during the Labor Day holiday period beginning August 19. “Drunk driving is simply not worth the risk” said Police Chief Tim Sabransky. “Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and financial costs of a crash or an arrest for impaired driving can be significant. Our message is simple, if we catch you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions. No excuses.” “We want residents to enjoy the end of summer and Labor Day holiday activities. If you are going to consume any alcoholic beverages, have a designated driver or make other arrangements for a ride. Don’t take the risk of becoming another impaired driver statistic.”
