DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER

The Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) program is actively working to reduce traffic fatalities and severe injuries, including a focus on impaired driving through campaigns like "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over". The Owatonna Police Department, along with other law enforcement agencies around the state, will be participating in this campaign with extra enforcement particularly during the Labor Day holiday that runs August 15th through September 1st, which encourages drivers to make safe choices and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
