The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is will be out in full force through Labor Day looking out for drunk drivers.

Each year nearly 11,000 people die on the road due to drunk driving. Every day alcohol related accidents contribute to 1,440 injuries and 29 deaths.

Overtime for this event is paid for by the Office of Traffic Safety, Department of Public Safety.
