The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown is a nationwide campaign directed at cracking down on drunk and impaired drivers. The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in the crackdown through saturation patrol.
The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will increase the number of deputies, in marked patrol cars starting Thursday, August 31, 2023, and continuing through Sunday, September 03, 2023. The additional deputies will concentrate their efforts on traffic law violations and the detection of impaired driving violations from 8:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.
Overtime for the additional deputies working during the crackdown will be paid through a mini-grant funded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
