Motor Vehicle Safety Campaign

The Waterford Police Department is joining more than 13,000 law enforcement agencies in a nationwide crackdown on driving under the influence violators. Waterford Police are participants in the Comprehensive 2008 DUI Enforcement Program. This program will put two additional Officers on patrol this week through the July 4th holiday weekend, to bolster DUI enforcement assets.

Waterford will also put additional Officers on patrol again, in mid-August 2008, and during the week leading up to Labor Day holiday weekend.  

During this DUI enforcement wave, the officers will target DUI, as well as seatbelt, speeding and all other motor vehicle violations.  Officers may also be conducting future DUI checkpoints. An emphasis is placed on DUI enforcement between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. 

This campaign is part of the Federal Highway Safety Program in accordance with the 2008 Fiscal Year Connecticut Highway Safety Strategic Plan.

The Waterford Police Department urges all motorists to voluntarily participate in safe responsible motor vehicle operation, and remember – DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!
