We received this press release from the CSKT police :
Tribal law enforcement steps up patrols
during drunk driving crackdown
Confederated Salish & Kootenai tribal police officers will be out in full force during the Labor Day holiday period, beginning August 21. They will join thousands of other law enforcement and highway safety agencies throughout the nation as they take part in the Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest crackdown on impaired driving. The enforcement blitz will last through the holiday weekend.
Drunk driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. Since 2003, 34 people have died on the Flathead Reservation due to alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes. Over 80 percent of the fatalities on the roadway involved alcohol. Police officers will step up patrols through the Labor Day holiday in the effort to keep drunk drivers off the roads.
“The tragedy is that impaired drivers hurt and kill innocent people. Our goal is to travel safe for everyone,” said Tribal Police Chief Craige Couture. “You can help by making sure your friends and family members don’t get behind the wheel if they have been drinking. If you plan to drink, make sure you’ve got someone else to be the sober driver.”
Ronan city police and the Montana Highway Patrol will also be participating in the crackdown. Overtime and additional patrols are supported by the Montana Department of Transportation State Highway Traffic Safety Bureau with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
