NCSO increases enforcement for Labor Day weekend

August 31, 2018 |   |  Community Awareness

Labor Day Weekend – the last holiday of the summer, so that means a lot of people will be traveling and attending celebrations or sports events where alcohol may be present. Remember, having a few drinks, and getting behind the steering wheel can make for dangerous, even deadly conditions on the road. “Save a Life, Don’t Drink and Drive!”

During this holiday weekend, Deputies will be out in force looking for impaired motorists, speeding, seat-belt and other traffic violations county-wide. The office is asking for public support to keep our roads safe, and encourages you to contact the office, or dial 9-1-1 if you see anyone driving impaired.

Some of the signs could be an erratic driving pattern, weaving back-and-forth in between lanes, or over into other lanes, not stopping completely at stop signs or red lights, or rolling red lights on right hand turns. If you think you have someone driving in front of, or beside you that is possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol, please dial 9-1-1. That’s the only way that we’re going to get out there in a quick manner to make an arrest if necessary.
