GEORGIA STATE TROOPERS
Safety is a top priority
for Labor Day weekend
The 78-hour Labor Day holi
day travel period will begin at
6 p.m. on Friday, September 2,
and end at midnight on Labor
Day. "This holiday weekend,
the Georgia State Patrol has
one goal in mind—safety,” said
Colonel Mark W. McDonough,
Commissioner of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety.
Labor Day marks the unof
ficial end of summer and is one
of the heaviest traveled holiday
periods of the year. “Troop
ers take saving lives seriously,
and will be out on full patrols
actively looking for unsafe and
impaired drivers,” said Colonel
McDonough. “Plan your trips
carefully to allow ample time
to reach your destination, make
sure everyone is wearing a seat
belt, don’t drive distracted, and
obey the posted speed limit,”
he added.
Last year during a similar
travel period, troopers investi
gated 453 traffic crashes over
the Labor Day weekend that
resulted in 293 injuries, and nine
traffic fatalities. In addition to
the traffic crash investigations,
troopers arrested 316 people
for driving under the influence
while issuing 7,359 citations
and 12,143 warnings.
This holiday period, the Geor
gia State Patrol is participating
in the Operation Zero Toler
ance campaign, a nationwide
mobilization against impaired
drivers. State Troopers will be
working alongside sheriff’s
deputies and police officers to
apprehend impaired drivers.
“Driving under the influence
is unacceptable. If consuming
alcohol is in your plans, desig
nate a sober driver before you
leave home. If you don’t have
a designated driver, call a taxi,
a friend, or family member to
help you get home safely,” said
Colonel McDonough.
From September 2-5, the
Georgia State Patrol will also
be participating in Operation
C.A.R.E., or Combined Ac
cident Reduction Effort. This
is a nationwide traffic safety
initiative among state highway
patrols and state police agen
cies where troopers and officers
across the United States and
Canada work together during
holiday periods to reduce the
number of traffic deaths through
high visibility patrols and edu
cation.
The holiday traffic count
will be updated throughout the
holiday period on the Georgia
Department of Public Safety
