Hutchinson Police Department

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The You Drink. You Drive. You Lose. campaign ended earlier this month.

During the campaign, the Hutchinson Police Department conducted overtime saturation patrols to aggressively enforce Kansas impaired driving laws.

During the campaign, officers made 4 impaired driving arrests, 3 Non-DUI Arrests, conducted 5 standardized field sobriety tests, and issued 44 other citations. 235 vehicle stops were made during the campaign.

According to Hutchinson Police Chief Brice Burlie, if you were stopped you hopefully learned from your experience. This department will continue to vigorously enforce impaired driving as well as all Kansas traffic laws, not just during this enforcement campaign but all through the year.

We enforce traffic laws because those laws help every single person that we share the road with. Impaired driving is a choice that YOU make. Make the right choice. Our agency reminds you to always wear your seat belt. It’s your best defense against impaired drivers. Every trip, every time.
