Officers educating public on DUI dangers
For two of the past three years, the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department has been ranked as the best traffic enforcement division in the state. The effort given by patrol officers throughout the year educates the public on the dangers and penalties associated with drunken driving.

Additional patrols and checkpoints are funded by grants administered through the Governor's Council on Dangerous and Impaired Driving. For the 2008-09 fiscal year, ECSD will work in cooperation with other local agencies to offer education on traffic safety, emphasizing enforcement on highways, at intersections and near railroad tracks.

In particular, officers will be watching for impaired drivers. Individuals behind the wheel with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent will be arrested and prosecuted. A felony DUI conviction could have a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine, and the penalties increase if an alcohol-related crash results in another person's injury or death.
