Drivers will see officers working on a special high-visibility enforcement campaign to spread the message about the dangers of drunk driving from December 15, 2023, through January 1, 2024.&nbsp; Their primary focus will be on taking impaired drivers off the road.&nbsp;

According to NHTSA, during the 2017-2021 December months, more than 4,500 people were killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes nationwide.&nbsp; Added parties and festivities during the Holiday season bring out more impaired drivers. &nbsp; 

NHTSA and the North Platte Police Department ask drivers to make a plan before taking part in festivities by designating a sober driver or using ride share.
