Seward County Sheriff’s office
The “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose” campaign has just ended.
During the previous two and a half weeks, the Seward County Sheriff’s Office conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively enforce Kansas impaired driving laws.
During the campaign, officers made nine impaired driving arrests and wrote five safety belt citations, 15 speeding citations, and 65 other citations and arrests. 179 vehicle stops were made during the campaign.
“If you were stopped you hopefully learned from your experience,” Sgt. Bo Jacobs said. “This department will continue to vigorously enforce impaired driving as well as all Kansas traffic laws, not just during this enforcement campaign but all through the year. We enforce traffic laws because those laws help every single person that we share the road with.”
Jacobs said impaired driving and wearing a seat belt are choices motorists make, and he encouraged drivers to make the right choice.
“Our agency reminds you to always wear your seat belt, it’s your best defense against impaired drivers,” he said. “Every trip, every time.”
