UW-Green Bay Police join crackdown on drunken motorists

UW-Green Bay Police along with other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin and the rest of the nation for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” will crackdown on drunken drivers from Aug. 17 to Sept. 3, which includes the Labor Day weekend. Drunken driving continues to be prevalent, persistent and deadly on city streets and rural roads throughout Wisconsin. Last year, 225 people were killed and nearly 3,000 injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes in Wisconsin. There were more than 35,000 convictions for drunken driving in Wisconsin last year. “If we can deter people from getting behind the wheel when they’re not sober, we will make progress toward the goal of reaching zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.”
