New Haven Police Departments Cracking Down on Impaired Driving<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Increased Enforcement Underway Through Labor Day<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>(August 14, 2014) &#8211; The Allen County Traffic Safety Partnership &#8211; Fort Wayne, Allen Co. New Haven Police Departments has a very direct message for motorists:  Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.  Today, officers announced zero tolerance for anyone attempting to drive while impaired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be immediately arrested and taken to jail,&#8221; said Lt. Tony Maze.  &#8220;Officers will be working overtime to identify and apprehend those who disregard our message.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement agencies from across Indiana are participating in the National Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign which is now underway and lasts through Labor Day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, there were 114 fatal alcohol-impaired collisions in Indiana.  This accounted for 16 percent of all fatal crashes.  Those most likely to be involved in an alcohol-related crash are between the ages of 21 and 44.  There was a 24 percent decrease in fatal collisions between 2012 and 2013.  In Allen County: 373 total collisions in which alcohol was a factor, 6 of which had fatal injuries and 137 other minor to possibly life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The decrease in the number of fatal crashes is a sign that drivers are responding to our message,&#8221; Maze said.  &#8220;One life lost is too many, so we&#8217;ll continue to be out in force to catch those who make the unacceptable decision to drive while impaired.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maze added the community can help in getting dangerous drivers off the road.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you see someone driving in a manner you suspect of being impaired, there is a high probability you are right,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;Call 911 immediately and report the location, description, and direction the vehicle is traveling.  This will help officers observe the activity of the suspect and take necessary action to prevent a possible tragedy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the funds for overtime enforcement and the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute works with state and local law enforcement agencies to administer the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Police Memorial Service.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='964f7f39733881fdc3e9b87748a691ed' data-image-id=\"1754\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\" data-description=\"The Police Memorial Service.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1754\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='964f7f39733881fdc3e9b87748a691ed' data-image-id=\"2028\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\" data-title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\" data-description=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2028\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2006-trf\/13641.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Fort Wayne Police Department cars and motorcycles along with Allen County Sheriff&#039;s motorcycles lined up on Superior Street after the 2006 Three Rivers Festival Parade.
