As part of an effort to reduce injuries and fatalities area troopers will be taking part in C.A.R.E. Life Saver weekend.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announced last week that Troop H officers will be participating in the C.A.R.E. Life Saver weekend from December 18, 2015, through December 21, 2015.  During that time frame enforcement will be increased in an effort to stop motorists from driving impaired this holiday season and to reduce injury and deaths caused by impaired drivers.

“The holiday season is a time to celebrate with friends and family.  If those celebrations include alcohol be sure to have a sober designated driver,” McDonald said. ” No one should have to endure losing a loved one during the holiday season.”
