Lexington PD to participate in Sober or Slammer campaign again

Lexington, SC 08/21/2021 – Chief Terrence Green of the Town of Lexington Police Department said Friday that his department, along with law enforcement agencies statewide, will be participating in the Sober of Slammer! campaign through the Labor Day weekend. This campaign's cornerstone is enhanced DUI enforcement.

For the next two and a half weeks, officers of the Traffic Safety Unit and the Patrol Division will be focused on DUI enforcement. They will also be participating in several public safety checkpoints as a part of that campaign.

The Sober or Slammer! campaign falls under the South Carolina Department of Public Safety Target Zero initiative to end all highway fatalities and is part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown coordinated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This national effort includes state and local law enforcement agencies across the country and this campaign combines high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity.
