CITIZEN'S PATROL WINDCREST

We celebrate the 247th birthday of our Nation on July 4th. It was on that day in 1776 that the Second Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence, which established the United States of America. Sadly, July 4th is the second most deadly holiday period of the year, behind New Year’s, due to drunk driving. Please celebrate safely and do not drive if you have consumed alcohol. The Windcrest Police Officers do arrest drunk drivers, so plan to have a sober driver if you want to travel after consuming alcohol. Be responsible.
