PRESS RELEASE
Impaired Driving Enforcement

November 23, 2014 (Moscow, Idaho) - The City of 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.  These increased patrols will be directed at enforcement of the state's impaired driving laws from November 27th, 2014 to January 4th, 2015.  Directed patrols dedicated to decreasing impaired driving often yield violations other than the ones targeted.

Within Moscow 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.
