DUI Emphasis Patrol Friday

MOSES LAKE, WA – In a continued effort to reduce traffic accidents during the Grant County Fair, increased safety patrols will be visible on Friday, August 18th throughout the Moses Lake area. The DUI emphasis patrols will be led by Washington State Patrol and joined by local law enforcement.

 The Grant County Fair is a much-anticipated annual event in Grant County that attracts thousands of Grant County residents and tourists to the Greater Moses Lake area.  Many families celebrate by strolling the fairgrounds, enjoying the rides, and attending related events. If you plan to consume alcohol at the fair or rodeo-grounds, make plans ahead of time to ensure you have a safe and sober ride home. Drunk driving has the devastating potential to take a life in an instant. 

 Ensure the safety of yourself and others:

 If it’s your turn to be the designated driver, take your job seriously and don’t drink.

Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if they have been using alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs.

Always wear your seatbelt. It is your best defense against impaired drivers.

Provide a safe environment for youth to thrive substance free.

If you see an impaired driver, call 911.

 Getting home safe is always worth it.
