Tony Maze from the Fort Wayne Police Department.  &#8220;Officers will be working overtime hours as part of a comprehensive effort to curb impaired and dangerous driving.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Area law enforcement agencies will be working saturation patrols during this high traffic volume travel season.  <\/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; said Lt. Maze.  &#8220;Call 911 immediately and report the location, description, and direction the vehicle is traveling.  This will help officers take action necessary to prevent a possible tragedy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone found to be driving impaired will be arrested,&#8221; Maze stated.  &#8220;Also, occupants not using seat belts or who are not properly restrained will be cited and given a ticket.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In November 2013, there were 490 alcohol-related crashes across Indiana resulting in 224 injuries and 13 fatalities.  A total of 735 drivers were arrested for driving under the influence and 9,504 seat belt citations were issued to drivers and passengers who were not properly restrained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wearing your seat belt can save your life,&#8221; Maze added.  &#8220;In Indiana, nearly 50 percent of fatalities in passenger car accidents are due to occupants who did not buckle up.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Officers also noted that vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for kids between the ages of 8 and 15.  For families with young children, it&#8217;s important to have a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat for each child.  Parents can visit childseat.in.gov for a list of locations and a toll-free phone number to speak with experts about the proper installation of child safety seats.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement agencies from across the state, including the Fort Wayne and New Haven Police Departments, Allen County Sheriff&#8217;s Department, and troopers from the Indiana State Police are jointly participating in this holiday enforcement effort.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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='d575acbb82e96ffc98fce96ebaa4a58d' 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='d575acbb82e96ffc98fce96ebaa4a58d' 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.
