Booze and Belts
In an effort to combat the deadly effects of drunken driving and increase seat belt use the UWLPD is participating in the nationwide enforcement effort called Booze and Belts.
Drunken driving devastates individuals, families and whole communities. Last year, alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin killed 234 people and injured 4,319, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Approximately 37,000 drivers—a number nearly equal to the population of Beloit—were convicted of drunken driving in Wisconsin in 2008.
We hope to enhance the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Click It or Ticket initiative which was the most successful seat belt enforcement campaign ever, helping to create the highest national seat belt usage rate of 83 percent. Coast to coast, day or night, the message is simple - Click It or Ticket.
The UWLPD considers both these issues of be of great importance so will do their part in this nationwide effort from December 7 to the 15th, 2009.
