ATTENTION
Virginia's law enforcement will be out in full force during the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization, which runs from August 15 to September 3, 2018. Impaired driving prevention is the focus of the mobilization, which is held in advance of and includes the Labor Day holiday, one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
It's 2018 and there are many other options available to you if you find yourself in a position where you should not drive. There are families out there trying to enjoy the last summer holiday.....don't make it their last.
DRINKING AND DRIVING IS A CHOICE, AND IT IS A CHOICE THAT SHOULD NOT BE MADE.
I hope everyone has enjoyed the photos and videos from National Night Out last night. This post may be a little long so please bear with me. National Night Out is an opportunity for the community to come together and I feel we did just that.
