“The Dangers of Alcohol Use and Abuse” is set to begin at 6:30 with a presentation by Steven Benvenisti about “the most significant case” of his career.

The disaster demonstration follows, as attendees watch first responders deal with a drunk driver and a trapped, severely injured passenger.

Participating will be River Vale police, firefighters and ambulance corps members, as well as members of Hackensack University Medical Center’s Mobile Intensive Care Unit, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit and the county medical examiner.

A special guest speaker will then deliver a speech.
