Labor Day DUI Enforcement Continues
Labor Day weekend is approaching, and law enforcement continues their “Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign, which started on August 16. The Vincennes Police Department and Knox County Sheriff’s Office are issuing a clear warning to drivers as they intensify efforts to reduce impaired driving. This annual end-of-summer campaign, running through September 2, involves increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints to target those driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
