Arcadia PD-Safe Summer Campaign display at Holly/Huntington. Don't Drink and Drive!
ARCADIA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Safe Summer Campaign
With the assistance of Jan’s Towing, The Arcadia Police Department Traffic Bureau has developed the Safe Summer Campaign. This campaign gives the Traffic Bureau the opportunity to reach out and educate the community of the importance of not driving while impaired. Education is one of three primary tenets of the Traffic Bureau’s mission (Education, Engineering, & Enforcement). The Safe Summer Campaign falls right in line with educating the community and is a great way to remind everyone that driving while impaired is dangerous and deadly.
The Safe Summer Campaign is a display of a vehicle, which was previously involved in a DUI related traffic collision, where an occupant was killed. The vehicle will be on a trailer displayed on the center median of Huntington Drive just west of Gate Three. Surrounding the vehicle are two banners. The first banner reads “Arcadia Police Department Safe Summer Campaign”; the second banner reads “Don’t Drink and Drive.” Starting on Thursday August 07, 2014, the vehicle will be displayed for two weekends before being removed on Monday August 18, 2014. Nearby, there will be a brochure box containing Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) brochures titled “Traffic Safety and You”. The hope is to grab the attention of passers-by, to make a lasting impression, and cause them to think twice before driving while impaired.
Through the Police Department’s partnership with the Arcadia Unified School District and Jan’s towing, the Police Department’s Traffic Bureau intends to continue their educational efforts at Arcadia High School by utilizing this vehicle display sometime after school starts this fall.
