The Decatur Police Department made 12 DUI arrests during the recent Labor Day impaired driving campaign. In addition, 1 seat belt citation was written – all of which occurred during nighttime hours according to the DPD.
“Through the Labor Day enforcement effort, we helped to make our roads safer and remind motorists that impaired driving is not a game,” said Sgt. Steve Hagemeyer.
