DPD part of Operation Zero Tolerance

Submitted by the Dalton Police Department



The Dalton Police Department will take part in the statewide Operation Zero Tolerance beginning today and continuing through Sept. 1.

Operation Zero Tolerance is a nationwide mobilization of law enforcement agencies to combat drivers driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The campaign is used to raise driver awareness of the consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. According to statistics from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Labor Day weekend is one of the most dangerous travel periods on Georgia highways.

The Dalton Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit, Situational Response Unit and Patrol Division will be concentrating their efforts on fighting drunk driving during the campaign. Concentrated patrols and random road checks will be conducted throughout the city at strategic locations in an effort to crack down on motorists driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

The Dalton Police Department asks motorists to buckle up, slow down and drive sober to make the 2008 Labor Day weekend safe.
