Ask a Cop Give a Tip! 

Drive drunk, go to jail —
 it's that simple

Local police agencies are committed to keeping people safe on our highways, roads and streets. Very visible efforts, like increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints, help raise awareness of the dangers and penalties associated with drunken driving.

Drivers with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent will be arrested and prosecuted. A felony DUI conviction could have a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine, and the penalties increase if an alcohol-related crash results in another person's injury or death.

Amber Alert

The Amber Alert Plan is a cooperative effort between the Indiana radio and television stations and law enforcement agencies. The plan calls for law enforcement agencies to provide radio and television stations with an alert upon the immediate confirmation of a qualifying child abduction. All participating radio stations will break programming to broadcast the alert and subsequent information provided by law enforcement.
