During the period of August 19 through Labor Day, September 4, RCPD will join other agencies across Kansas in a crackdown aimed at removing impaired drivers from the roadways during the You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. enforcement campaign.
One person is killed in a drunk driving crash every 52 minutes in the United States. Alcohol impairs thinking, reasoning and muscle coordination - just one drink before driving can put you and others in danger.
“Drinking and driving isn’t just a reckless choice; it’s a perilous road that leads to shattered lives,” said RCPD Director Brian Peete. “I urge you to take the wheel of responsibility, ensuring your safe journey home. Your choices drive our community’s well-being.”
RCPD will continue to emphasize enforcement of impaired driving and other traffic laws throughout the year in order to save lives.
