Lorain County Sheriff’s Office deputies will conduct high visibility traffic enforcement for Halloween from now until Oct. 31, targeting impaired driving, according to a news release.
The funding for this is made possible from the Impaired Driving Enforcement Program grant, the release said.
This grant is federally funded in conjunction with the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, according to the release.
The main goal of these high visibility enforcement blitzes is to reduce the number of alcohol- and speed-related accidents, along with seat belt usage in Lorain County, the release said.
“Halloween is meant to be scary, but not when it comes to driving,” according to the release. “When it comes to drunk driving, Halloween can turn the roads into a true horror story.
“Halloween is a particularly is a deadly night due to drunk drivers, and not all victims are drunk drivers.”
