Now through Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024, the Ottawa Police Department will join many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the “Taking Down DUI” traffic enforcement campaign. The New Year’s holiday period outranks most of the other holidays in number of crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired by alcohol and/or other drugs. Driving while impaired is wrong, but you know that already. A DUI can stay with your for life and you will get caught. We hope that is a sobering thought. Please keep in mind that if you are going to be using any impairing substance, do not consider driving. Ottawa Police Chief, Adam Weingartner:
He adds to line up a ride with a designated driver or other safe transportation BEFORE you go out. Remember, the life you save could be your own. Arrive alive, don’t drink and drive.
