To help spread the word, police agencies will participate in efforts to bring awareness to the danger of driving while impaired, said Putnam County Sheriff Kevin McConville. The Carmel and Kent Police Departments are also participating, McConville said.
These efforts will be part of the statewide STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign, which will start on Saturday, Oct. 29, and continue until Monday, Oct. 31.
Police agencies will participate in the campaign along with STOP-DWI coordinators, authorities from the Putnam County Sheriff's Department said.

The campaign is meant to "further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving," authorities said.
