The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and ALL Law Enforcement Agencies urge everyone to EXERCISE CAUTION and have a safe, and fun New Year’s HOLIDAY.

Everyone should DRIVE SAFELY and DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!

Additional law enforcement members are working around the clock – in an effort to make sure that everyone is safe as we head into the New Year

Keep these valuable Safety Tips in mind:

• Have non-alcoholic beverages available for all of your party guests not interested in alcohol.
• Find alternative transportation for intoxicated guests.
• Also arrange for an “Official Designated Driver” for your gathering who doesn’t drink at all.
• Be sure to have something to eat before you consume any alcoholic beverages.
• Eat high protein foods that’ll stay in your stomach longer, and slow the absorption of alcohol into your system.
• Remember only time will eliminate the alcohol from your body.
• Know your safe limit and NEVER drink and drive.

ABOVE ALL exercise both COMMON SENSE and SAFETY as we bring in the New Year!
