Officers Focus on OWI Enforcement

From November 23-29, 2010, the Waterloo Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies will participate in the statewide special Traffic Enforcement Program (sTEP).  Emphasis will be placed on nighttime enforcement projects with an eye toward OWI enforcement.

 The police department would like to remind you of the following tips:  

1.  
   • Don’t risk it -- If you plan to drive, don’t drink or use any drugs.
   • Choose a sober designated driver before celebrating.
   • Take mass transit, a taxicab or ask a friend to drive you home.
   • Spend the night where the activity is being held.
   • Report impaired drivers to law enforcement.
   • Always wear your safety belt.

The Waterloo Police Department hopes everyone has a fun and safe Thanksgiving weekend.

 Funding for this project comes from a Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau grant.
