Grant provides updated equipment

Alcohol breath testers have been awarded to the Sidney Police Department (SPD) through a traffic safety grant award.

SPD has received three hand held alcohol breath testing units, valued at $285 each, provided by the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), Highway Safety Office. The safety grant award is part of the state's ongoing effort to prevent underage drinking and alcohol-related traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities.

According to NDOR Highway Safety Office Administrator Fred Zwonechek, "The Sidney Police Department was awarded the new instruments to assist their personnel in identifying potential minor in possession, minor .02 driving, and driving under the influence violators."
