2011 OWI Average BAC Released!

 

Sturgeon Bay Police Officers made almost a 100 Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) arrests last year.  It was just released yesterday that the average Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) for all of the offenders arrested last year was .18% BAC.  As many of you know the legal blood alcohol limit in Wisconsin is .08% for operating a motor vehicle. Clearly you can see the majority arrested by Officers were twice the legal limit.  Officers continue to strive to take more intoxicated motorists off the roadway and encourage more and more would be intoxicated motorists to use taxis or have responsible drivers provide rides to them.

As of this year alone Officers have arrested a male with a BAC of over .30%.  Furthermore  more and more drivers arrested by Officers are not only intoxicated by alcohol, but also impaired by prescription medications. The Sturgeon Bay Police Department continues to train its Officers in the detection of prescription medication  and wants everyone to know that it is not okay to operate a motor vehicle after consuming prescription medication that may affect your driving ability.  If you drive with prescription medication that can and does affect your driving ability you will be arrested.

SBPD DCSD Join Wisconsin Crime Network!

Today, we are pleased to announce that the Sturgeon Bay Police Department along with the Door County Sheriff’s Department have joined the newly created Wisconsin Crime Alert Network. The Wisconsin Crime Alert Network which is modeled after a similar law enforcement notification system out of Minnesota will enable law enforcement agencies the ability to quickly alert the community about a crime or criminal that may directly affect them. The network, which is coordinated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, uses e-mail, SMS text, and broadcast fax technology to send alerts directly to people they are most likely to affect. The alerts can be sent to thousands of people and businesses across the region or even across the state and may be used to prevent crime, apprehend criminals, recover stolen property and improve security measures.

Our goal with the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network is to use this valuable communication tool to preserve Door County as a destination for people to live, work and vacation. The Wisconsin Crime Alert Network has a minimal cost of $1.00 per month or $12.00 per year and businesses, and citizens are both encouraged to join. For more information or to subscribe to the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network please visit The Wisconsin Crime Alert Network website at http://www.wisconsincrimealert.gov/.
