The Parsons Police Department is joining other local and state law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign. 

  According to information released by KHP, the New Year's Holiday period outranks most other holidays in number of crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired by alcohol and/or other drugs.

 Kansas Patrol Lieutenant Kyle Wiford reminds everyone to not use any impairing substance if you plan on driving. Line up a ride with a sober acquaintance or other safe transportation before you go out.

 The Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign runs through January 2nd.
