During the upcoming holiday Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin will boost patrols to watch out for impaired drivers.

The goal of the stepped-up law enforcement effort is not just to arrest impaired drivers. The mission is to enhance public safety and prevent needless tragedies by discouraging people from making the dangerous decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated.

About every three hours in Wisconsin, someone is killed or injured in an alcohol-related crash. Drivers impaired by alcohol or other drugs pose a serious hazard to themselves, their passengers and everyone else along our roadways.

As part of our year-round public safety efforts, the New Glarus and Belleville Police Departments will join law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign from December 16, 2022 through New Year‘s Day 2023. This is NOT about stopping, citing or arresting motorists. This is about saving lives and preventing tragedies.
