<strong>Cranford</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> Driving While Intoxicated Program<br />

<strong>2011</strong> we participated in the Driver Sober or Get<br />

Pulled Over program sponsored by the New<br />

Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety.<br />

The extra patrol program consists of putting<br />

extra patrols out on selected weekends (usually<br />

holidays) with the specific assignment of<br />

detecting and apprehending drivers who are<br />

under the influence. Over the Limit Under arrest<br />

<strong>2011</strong> Impaired Driving Crackdown is a campaign<br />

that ran from August 19, <strong>2011</strong> through<br />

September 5, <strong>2011</strong>. During this eighteen-day<br />

period, officers assigned to this campaign made<br />

Three (3) DWI arrest and issued (331)<br />

summonses for various violations. Drive Sober<br />

or Get Pulled Over <strong>2011</strong> Year End Crackdown<br />

campaign ran from December 5, <strong>2011</strong> to January<br />

2, 2012. During this twenty-nine day period,<br />

officers assigned to this campaign made six (12)<br />

DWI arrests and issued (375) summons for<br />

various violations.<br />

In the <strong>com</strong>ing year we will continue to provide<br />

educational programs by way of lectures and<br />

demonstrations on the hazards of drunk driving<br />

to the various religious, civic, and educational<br />

organizations within the <strong>com</strong>munity. In<br />

conjunction with these educational programs we<br />

will continue to vigorously enforce the drunk<br />

driving laws of our state utilizing patrol and<br />

additional enforcement activities.<br />

The problem of drinking and driving is one that<br />

continues to demand constant attention. It is<br />

only through the <strong>com</strong>bined efforts of education<br />

and enforcement that we will continue to strive<br />

for a reduction in the senseless and too often<br />

tragic accidents that occur on our roadways. The<br />

citizens of our <strong>com</strong>munity can be assured that<br />

the men and women of the <strong>Cranford</strong> <strong>Police</strong><br />

<strong>Department</strong> will do everything in their power to<br />

ensure that the streets of our <strong>com</strong>munity remain<br />

some of the safest in which to live, play, work,<br />

and drive in the nation.<br />
