Message from the Miramar Police Station: Tomorrow, many of our dedicated law enforcement officers will be called on to give up time with their own families so the rest of us can travel safely to spend the holiday with our loved ones. Every time we get behind the wheel—and especially during the holidays—we owe these brave men and women our full attention and consideration. To help prevent officer deaths and injuries this Fourth of July holiday, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is reminding motorists to Drive Safely by paying special attention to officers on the roads and following other common-sense traffic safety measures. In addition to doing the obvious things—not speeding or driving impaired—drivers need to be especially mindful of officers who will be out enforcing traffic laws. Watch officers’ hands as they direct traffic. And listen for whistles or other audible signals from officers on how to proceed. Remember, if you see an emergency vehicle stopped by the side of the road, slow down and safely move over one lane if possible. Forty-nine states now have “move over” laws, and violators can be ticketed and fined. Have a safe and happy Independence Day.
