Extra enforcement has already begun with an emphasis on removing impaired drivers from the area’s roads. The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is one of thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country participating in the Driver Sober of Get Pulled Over campaign, which lasts through Sept. 7.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration organizes the campaign with a focus on using high-visibility enforcement with increased public awareness, according to the sheriff’s office.
In 2019, there were 13,047 OVI-related crashes, resulting in 597 deaths and 8,178 injuries, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
