Local law enforcement want to help you avoid being a part of a statistic when it comes to alcohol-related accidents. Last year in Wisconsin, 6,050 alcohol related accidents were to blame for 167 deaths. In order to keep people safer on the roads, the Door County Sheriff's office is participating in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over program that is taking place across the country. 

Lieutenant Brad Shortreed shares this reminder with all people who have festivities planned for New Year’s Eve 

If you are celebrating New Year’s Eve, never let someone who is imparied get behind the wheel of a car, and identify a designated driver who is sober and has not consumed any alcohol, or find a safe alternative way home. You can also download the Drive Sober mobile app at zeroinwisconsin.gov. The app helps find a safe ride home for those who need it.
