Year End Holiday Enforcement Crackdown
The Pine Hill Police Department participated in the 2014 Statewide \”Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over\” driving while intoxicated campaign from December 5th, 2014 to January 2nd, 2015. The campaign was part of the nationwide effort to combat drinking and driving. The Department was awarded a $7,500.00 grant by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety (NJDHTS).
As a result of the campaign, Pine Hill Officers arrested;
- 6 drivers for driving while intoxicated,
- 11 individuals for drug related offenses, and
- 10 individuals on outstanding warrants.
A total of 155 traffic summons were issued for during the campaign.
Be a responsible driver. If you drink, don’t drive. If you do plan on drinking, have a designated driver, use mass transit, taxis or call a friend. If you see someone you suspect of driving drunk, stay as far away from the other vehicle as possible. Do not try to pass the vehicle or signal the driver to pull over. Take notice of the license plate number of the driver along with details of the vehicle including make, model and color. However, make sure you don’t compromise your own safety trying to obtain this information and call 911. Give the exact location of the vehicle, including the name of the road or cross streets and the direction the vehicle is traveling. Give a complete description of the vehicle and the manner in which the vehicle is being driven.
