ZERO IN WISCONSIN:
A VISION WE CAN ALL LIVE WITH
Wisconsin ended 2008 with the fewest traffic fatalities in more than 60 years. But this encouraging news is little consolation to the families and friends of the more than 500 people who died in traffic crashes last year.
Because most traffic crashes are caused by motorists’ behavior such as speeding, driving while impaired and not wearing safety belts, we know that most of these deaths were preventable. To deliver the message that even one preventable death is one too many, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and our traffic safety partners have launched the Zero In Wisconsin campaign.
With the Zero In Wisconsin campaign, we will demonstrate clearly and intensely how simple changes in driving behavior and habits—changes we can all live with—will prevent motorists from injuring and killing themselves or others.Simply put, in Wisconsin, the only acceptable number of traffic deaths is ZERO.

Wisconsin Law Enforcement Booze & Belts Campaign
December 07 - December 15, 2009
The Kronenwetter Police Department will again be participating in an alcohol & seatbelt safety campaign. The "Booze and Belts" campaign is an Wisconsinbased initiative that combines your typical "click it or ticket" and "over the limit, under arrest" campaigns into one combined effort. Our agency does not currently receive grant funding to increase staffing during this period, but our officers that are on the road increase traffic enforcement efforts. Make no mistake, our agency has a zero tolerance for impaired driving. Please, do not take the risk to drive impaired. You will be caught, you will be cited, you will be arrested!
SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN
Every day we receive complaints regarding speeding and erratic driving across the community; from neighborhood streets to rural roads and Interstate 39.
We respond to complaints through increased traffic patrols and speed trailer placement. The speed trailer will not only make commuters aware but will also track statistics on speed levels and when speeding is most frequent by time. To request the speed trailer or more information CLICK HERE.
