The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the
Maryland Highway Safety Office by participating in the Click It or Ticket High
Visibility Enforcement and outreach efforts during the week of
Thanksgiving. The Calvert County
Sheriff’s Office will be conducting occupant protection enforcement in various
areas throughout Calvert County. Occupants
of motor vehicles are required by law to buckle up. If you are stopped for not being buckled up
you will receive a citation with a fine of $83.00.
Calvert County Sheriff’s Office deputies will be conducting
Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols in an effort to remove impaired
drivers from Calvert County roadways. The Sheriff's Office is dedicated to
reducing the number of alcohol related fatalities in support of the Maryland
Highway Safety Office's "Towards Zero Deaths" campaign. Historically
there has been an increase in the number of impaired driver related crashes and
DUI arrests during the holiday season. Grant funding from the Maryland Highway
Safety Office will be used to place additional deputies on our roadways for the
specific task of locating impaired drivers.
