This week - leading up to the Labor Day weekend - law enforcement agencies in Alabama and Florida are once again joining forces for the 25th Annual “Hands Across the Border,” traffic safety campaign.  Law enforcement officers will crack down on unsafe driving through saturation patrols and checkpoints throughout the week.



Houston County, AL & Jackson County, FL – Drunk driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes – in 2014, the latest year for national statistics, more than 10,000 people lost their lives in  alcohol related crashes.   That’s one life every 51 minutes.  Alcohol related motor vehicle crashes cost more than an estimated $37 billion annually.


 Today law enforcement officers from Alabama and Florida met and pledge to work together this holiday weekend to ensure drivers are maintaining safe speeds, not drinking and driving and always using their safety belts.


Sheriff Valenza would like to think the Southeast Alabama Traffic Safety Office for the grants that pay for them to work overtime on just traffic enforcement.
