As part of state & national efforts to help keep roadways safe for all travelers, Middleton Police officers made 18 arrests of suspected impaired drivers during the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign between December 18 & New Year’s Day.

While the focus of the initiative was to deter impaired driving, officers also issued citations & made arrests during traffic stops for (8) speeding violations, (17) operating after revocation or suspension violations, (1) traffic sign or traffic light violation, (8) drug arrests, (3) felony arrests & (1) warrant arrest.

"While the holiday 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign lasts about two weeks, our officers work throughout the year to help make our roadways & communities as safe as possible for everyone,” Sergeant Quamme said.

Impaired driving is 100 percent preventable.

If you plan to drink, identify a sober designated driver or find a safe alternative way home. Never allow someone to get behind the wheel impaired.

Protect yourself and your passengers every time you travel.
Ensure everyone is buckled up. Watch your speed and eliminate distractions.

Download the free “Drive Sober” mobile app from the WisDOT website. The app includes a “find a ride” feature to help locate mass transit and taxi services.

If you encounter a driver you suspect is impaired, call 911.
Provide as much detail as possible on the driver, vehicle and location.
