-The Clark County Sheriff’s Department is going to step up safety belt and drunken driving enforcement during the St. Patrick’s Day Holiday.
The initiative starts today and runs through March 20th and the increased enforcement is being funded with a 15,000 dollar grant provided by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Safety.
Clark County Sheriff Greg Herrick said, “During the St. Patrick’s Day mobilization and throughout the year, we are striving to prevent motorist from killing or injuring themselves and others on our roadways. Although we’re trying to increase voluntary compliance with traffic laws, not to write more tickets or make more arrests, we will take enforcement action if voluntary compliance fails.”
Sheriff Herrick continued saying, “We are serious about traffic safety enforcement because far too many needless deaths and serious injuries are caused by drunken driving and not wearing safety belts. Because even one preventable traffic fatality is one too many, our goal is to reduce preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin.”
