Leicestershire Constabulary's Road Policing Unit has launched its annual Drink and Drug Driving Campaign, encouraging members of the public to pass on information about anyone driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A Loughborough news report quoted Inspector Vivienne Brenchley, commander of the Road Policing Unit who said:
This year we want to encourage members of the public to report drink and drug drivers by increasing the ways in which they can contact us.
Obviously if you spot a suspected drink or drug driver on the road then call Leicestershire Constabulary as normal on 0116 222 2222 or in an emergency on 999, so that officers in the area can be alerted.
The campaign has started just after the Department of Transport launched the latest stage in its Think! Drink Driving campaign and the Local Alcohol Strategy Implementation Toolkit, launched earlier in the year, encouraged local authorities to consider developing local drink driving campaigns in line with national communications.
