Boone PD part of "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over"

Boone Police will join nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving and other traffic offenses. The effort has been dubbed, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."

Law enforcement around the state will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers and other traffic violators during the crackdown. during last year's special traffic enforcement period (sTEP), which was August 24 - September 6, there were 7 fatalities, two of which were alcohol related. Also during the enforcement effort, nearly 35,000 traffic violations were reported by Iowa's law enforcement.

This year's campaign runs from August 25 to September 7.
