PRESS RELEASE
Moscow Police Department to Increase Patrols

December 14, 2011 (Moscow, Idaho) - The Moscow Police Department, in conjunction with law enforcement agencies throughout Idaho and Washington, are increasing patrols directed at reducing the number of impaired drivers this holiday season.

The Moscow Police Department will be participating in patrols directed at the enforcement of the state's impaired driving laws from December 17th to January 3rd.

Within the city of Moscow and throughout the state of Idaho, directed patrols consistently result in:

  *   Warrant arrests
  *   Drug arrests
  *   Child safety seat violations
  *   Suspended license citations
  *   Uninsured motorist citations

The goal of this project is to support the statewide highway safety goal of reducing motor vehicle related deaths and serious injuries as a result of impaired drivers by increasing law enforcement presence and increasing arrests of those impaired drivers.

Please plan for a sober driver this holiday season.
