Carson City sheriff's Joining Forces effort results in DUI, drug arrests and 79 citations
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office recently participated in the Joining Forces law enforcement effort to stop impaired drivers and riders. The operation was done between March 17 to March 31 and resulted in the following:
2 arrests for DUI, 1 drug arrest and 1 warrant arrest. In addition, 79 citations were issued for traffic related violations.
The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind you not to drink and drive and to follow these guidelines:
— Designate a sober driver before drinking;
— Use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member or use public transportation if impaired;
— Take advantage of local sober ride programs;
— Call 911 if an impaired driver is spotted on the road;
— Take the keys or assist in making other arrangements for someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired
Together we can reduce car crash injuries and fatalities on our streets and highways.
Grant Funding for this event is provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety-Office of Traffic Safety. These monies are used to pay for additional deputies who participate in these events.
Joining Forces is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement program that promotes statewide enforcement in the areas of DUI, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding and pedestrian safety. The goal of these enforcement campaigns is to save lives by increasing public awareness about the dangers of making poor choices while driving.
