Border to Border
"Border
to Border 2010" to Begin Checkpoint Strikeforce Campaign
Heavily Traveled Labor Day Holiday will be the focus
With the approach of Labor Day comes the last big travel opportunity of the summer. More vehicles on the road, means higher chances of crashes, injuries and fatalities. In an effort to reduce crashes, and the tragedies they bring, law enforcement will gather at twenty one different border sites to make sure that motorists begin the Labor Day holiday with the message that they buckle up, obey the speed limits and drive sober.
To begin the annual Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign, Virginia law enforcement will partner with law enforcement from North Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia, and Tennessee for the annual “Border to Border” checkpoint project on September 2, 2010.
In 2009, over the four day Labor Day holiday period, there were a total of thirteen fatalities statewide which was a significant increase over the seven fatalities in 2008.
“Border to Border” is just one of the many activities that will occur in Virginia as part of the annual Checkpoint Strikeforce Campaign. Checkpoint Strikeforce is a multi-state law enforcement campaign with a goal to getting impaired drivers off the road. Checkpoints will continue throughout Virginia and its’ bordering states through the end of the year.
