Starting August 20th through Labor Day, September 7th, the Riley County Police Department (RCPD), along with law enforcement agencies across Kansas will be focusing on removing impaired drivers from the road.

'You Drink. You Drive. You Lose.' is an annual campaign to enforcement traffic laws against impaired driving.

In the United States, 1 person is killed in a drunk driving crash every 52 minutes. Alcohol impairs thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination.&nbsp;

“Before getting behind the wheel, please take a moment to think about the decision you’re about to make,” RCPD Patrol Captain Greg Steere said. “If you drive impaired, you’re not only more likely to crash, but that crash is much more likely to cause serious injury or death.”

Throughout the year, RCPD continues to emphasize the importance of enforcing impaired driving and other traffic laws in order to save lives.
