GPD stepping up patrols

Saturday, September 1, 2007

Greencastle police are stepping up patrols for drunk divers now through the end of the Labor Day holiday.

As part of the statewide "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest." campaign, the Greencastle Police Department will crack down on impaired driving with roving saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints through Sept. 9.

As many as 30 percent of Indiana traffic fatalities are alcohol related and more than 1,000 Hoosiers were killed in drunk-driving crashes from 2003 to 2006, according to the Indiana Traffic Safety Alcohol Fact Sheet.
