GILLETTE, Wyo. — In a proactive measure to enhance community safety during the holiday season, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office will intensify DUI enforcement over the weekend. This initiative is part of the nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, which is backed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The campaign aims to safeguard families and the local community during one of the busiest travel times of the year, when incidents related to alcohol consumption typically increase. As part of this effort, sheriff’s deputies will be on heightened patrols to deter impaired driving.
Residents are encouraged to be vigilant and report any suspected impaired drivers, as a single call could avert a serious accident and possibly save a life. The sheriff’s office emphasizes the importance of planning ahead when attending holiday gatherings. Motorists are advised to consider using ride-share services or to designate a sober driver before heading out.
If individuals find themselves unable to secure a safe ride, authorities recommend remaining where they are until it is safe to travel. The key message reiterates the importance of sober transportation: making responsible decisions is essential for ensuring everyone returns home safely.
Through these measures, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office aims to foster a safer environment during the festive season, encouraging all community members to prioritize safety and responsible behavior.
