Tom Green Co. Sheriff's Office Advises Motorists to Drive Safe & Sober Over Independence Day

SAN ANGELO – The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office is advising motorists to drive safe and sober over the coming Independence Day Holiday.  

As summer begins and Americans celebrate Independence Day, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office wants to remind our community to stay safe on the roadways.   

In an effort to keep roadways safe, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office is once again collaborating with the Texas Department of Transportation by participating in the Impaired Driver Mobility campaign.  The program will begin on Friday, June 24, 2022. 

The TGSO wants to remind people to prepare in advance to call for a ride, or have a designated driver should you decide to consume alcoholic beverages.   

Additionally, prescription medications, non-prescription medications, and controlled substances can have similar effects on the human body and impair driving.  

This is especially true when used in conjunction with one another or the consumption of alcoholic beverages.  Please help the community be a safer place, and remind friends and family to drive sober, and drive safely.
