Beginning December 26, and continuing through January 2nd, The Junction City Police Department will join many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the "Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign".
In comparison with other holidays, the New Year’s Holiday period outranks most of the other holidays in number of crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired by alcohol and/or other drugs. If you’ve had anything to drink, do not drive, don’t get behind the wheel. Call a cab, call a friend, use ride-share, whatever you do, do not drive while under the influence of alcohol. Have a sober ride lined up BEFORE you go out.
This effort is supported by a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).
