Of those fatal accidents, <br />46 were alcohol-related. Our county <br />has consistently been in the top 10 <br />deadliest counties for traffic crashes <br />in Minnesota. Anoka County law <br />enforcement agencies find this fact <br />unacceptable. The city of Ramsey <br />Police Depmiment, in conjunc- <br />tion with all other law enforcement <br />agencies in our county, have gotten <br />together to form a DWI task force in <br />order to try aIld lower our death toll. <br />Since the DWI task force went <br />into operation in May of2007, 17,548 <br />vehicles have been stopped, 1,159 <br />drunk drivers have been arrested, and <br />204 people have been taken to jail on <br />outstaIlding warrants. Additionally, <br /> <br />838 people were cited for driving <br />with suspended, revoked, or can- <br />celled licenses. A total of 139 people <br />were cited/arrested for drug offenses. <br />With assistance from the Federal <br />Government aIld the State of Minne- <br />sota, we will be putting extra officers <br />on the streets throughout the summer <br />aIld into the fall to increase DWI <br />enforcement. <br />Be sure to buckle up and slow <br />down! The Ramsey Police Depmi- <br />ment is serious about making our <br />streets safer for everyone. <br />For more information, contact the <br />Ramsey Police DepaIiment at 763- <br />427-6812. <br /> <br />Remember - Drunk Driving: Over <br />the Limit.
