Gloucester Township Police recommends the following easy steps, for a safe Labor Day weekend
• Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;
• Before drinking, please designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home;
• If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are
sure to get home safely;
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement;
• And remember, if you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help
them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
Let us all work together to make it a safe weekend for everyone.
