2016 Labor Day DUI Campaign

Department: Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department
Release Date: Aug 16, 2016

Contact Information:

Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department
Ray C. Allen, Sheriff

The Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department, in conjunction with the State of Vermont Governor’s Highway Safety Program, will be conducting increased high visibility traffic enforcement to save lives from 08/19/16 through 09/05/16 during the statewide 2016 Labor Day DUI Campaign.  DUI checkpoints will be conducted throughout this campaign as well as DUI high visibility saturation patrols.

The DUI Campaign is a reminder to our motorist’s that there will be heavy traffic as our students head back to school and families celebrate the last holiday of the summer season.  Impairment can mean impairment by alcohol, drugs or both.  Speeding is the major cause of most crashes in Vermont while impaired driving is the cause of 32% of all fatal crashes in Vermont and more than half of all deaths involve vehicle occupants who did not buckle up!  Distracted driving and speed are the primary causes of crashes in Grand Isle County.

High visibility enforcement has been a key to success in Grand Isle County evident in minimal law enforcement response to serious injury crashes.

2015 Labor Day DUI Campaign

The Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department, in conjunction with the State of Vermont Governor’s Highway Safety Program, will be conducting increased high visibility traffic enforcement to save lives from 08/21/15 through 09/07/15 during the statewide 2015 Labor Day DUI Campaign.  DUI checkpoints patrols will be conducted throughout this campaign as well as DUI high visibility saturation patrols.

The DUI Campaign is a reminder to our motorist’s that there will be heavy traffic as our students head back to school and families celebrate the last holiday of the summer season.  Impairment can mean impairment by alcohol, drugs or both.  An impaired driver is the cause of 32% of all fatal crashes in Vermont and more than half of all deaths involve vehicle occupants who did not buckle up!

Click it or Ticket Campaign

May 2015

In an effort to SAVE LIVES on Vermont’s roadways, the Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department is working in partnership with the State of Vermont Governor’s Highway Safety Program and other local law enforcement agencies to increase seat belt usage during the May 2015 Click It or Ticket Campaign.

The goal of a focused seat belt enforcement campaign is to step up traffic enforcement efforts utilizing high visibility cooperative traffic enforcement to reduce crashes and enforce our Occupant Protection laws.

Although Vermont has a secondary seat belt law, the enforcement campaign is centers on “zero-tolerance” approach towards seat belt and child safety seat usage.  Vermont does have a primary seat belt law for all persons up to age 18.  Click it or Ticket….Day or Night!!

Despite widespread efforts to educate drivers about the importance of wearing seat belts, motor vehicle collisions continue to cause death and serious injuries to the citizens of our state.  Vermont as a whole cannot get beyond the 85% passenger restraint compliance rate.

Grand Isle County has had one fatality since 2012 despite the significant increase in the number of crashes investigated by the Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department.  We attribute this success to our high passenger restraint compliance rate for vehicles our Department came into contact with.

TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY WE CAN IMPROVE THE AVERAGE SEAT BELT COMPLIANCE RATE.  ONE BUCKLE AT A TIME.

The Click It or Ticket Enforcement Campaign will run from May 18, 2015 to May 31, 2015.
