Police to ramp up
drunk driving watch

Buxton police officers will conduct impaired driving enforcement details Aug. 16 through Sept. 2, which will conclude with details during Labor Day Weekend, according to an announcement from the department.

The Buxton Police Department will work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” high-visibility, enforcement campaign. “This campaign is to remind drivers of the deadly dangers and legal consequences of impaired driving and hopefully deter citizens from driving under the influence and prevent the tragedies, seen in previous Labor Day weekends, from happening again,” the department wrote in its announcement.
