As New Year’s Eve is a night of celebration for many people Deputy Sheriffs with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting additional patrols.
Some of the additional deputies will be helping handle any increase in 911 calls over the holiday. Others will be conducting traffic patrols, specifically looking for those driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
It’s our hope these patrols prove unnecessary, that everyone uses good judgment and safe practices. We encourage anyone drinking to pre-arrange rides so they’re not tempted to drive under the influence. Area taxi services are also safe options.
If you see someone else driving under the influence please call 911 or a non-emergency number for dispatchers at Metro 911, 304-357-0191.
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and welcomes in the new year safely!
