Provincetown Police Receive New
Equipment to Combat Drunk Driving
- $4.5 Million Program Benefits All Police Agencies in Commonwealth-
Drunk driving is a violent crime that
claims a life every 32 minutes in America. To enhance its ability
to arrest and to help convict drunk drivers, the Provincetown Police
Department has received a new Breath Alcohol Testing System (BATS)
as part of the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau's (GHSB) You Drink
& Drive. You Lose. Campaign. Each BATS is valued at $9,800 and
requires no additional expense for a community to deploy. "Our
new BATS will allow us to more efficiently process those arrested
for drunk driving and to report the required information faster
to state authorities," said Staff Sgt. Tobias. "Instead
of officers pinned down doing the extensive paperwork related to
impaired driving arrests, we can get them back out on to the streets
to protect our community." Click
