Elkhart City Police, Goshen City Police, Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office, Nappanee Police Department, Bristol Police Department, and Wakarusa Police Department will all be conducting the patrols that are aimed to combat dangerous and impaired driving.
On average, drunk-driving crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“We’re seeing an uptick in dangerous driving during the pandemic, and it’s very concerning,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI Executive Director. “That’s why we’re pulling out all the stops this March to reverse that trend and encourage safe driving behavior. Preventing loss of life is our top priority.”
