Your DUI Task Force in the news:
The Gallatin County DUI Task Force is a citizens group appointed by the County Commissioners to develop and/or fund public education, awareness, and enforcement projects to reduce the number of alcohol related crashes and deaths in Gallatin County. Since 1990, the Task Force has provided a forum for proactive discussion and a place for professionals in the field to come together to discuss this critical issue, and to design constructive and effective courses of action.
The Task Force is totally self-supporting (through DUI license reinstatement funds) and works on this critical public health and safety issue without particular political agenda, free to address what is most relevant to our county, and to support innovative projects that prevent DUI.
The Task Force works to: * keep your roads safe! * prevent impaired driving * reduce alcohol-related traffic crashes * educate the public on the dangers of driving after consuming alcoholic beverages or other chemical substances that impair judgment and motor function * gather and disseminate statistical information regarding DUI in Gallatin County |
