Essex County Gets State Funding for Sobriety Campaign | Newark News
Description
Essex County’s six police departments are getting a boost with $7K each to fuel the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign—just in time for Labor Day. Across New Jersey, over 100 agencies will deploy sobriety checkpoints from Aug 19–Sept 7, backed by $500K in state funding. Last year’s crackdown netted 1,600 impaired driving arrests and countless other citations—proof that drunk driving remains deadly on NJ roads. The Attorney General’s message? Plan ahead: designate a driver, call a ride, or stay put. These checkpoints aren’t just enforcement—they’re a deterrent. Don’t risk it. Stay safe.
