STAY SAFE AND CELEBRATE FOURTH OF 
JULY WEEKEND RESPONSIBLY 

The Arcadia Police Department reminds drivers to plan ahead and celebrate the holiday 
safely and responsibly. 

This weekend and through Monday, July 4, officers will be on lookout or driv-ers suspected 
of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. 

In 2020, nearly 500 people were killed in crashes throughout the country dur-ing the 
Fourth of July weekend. Of those deadly crashes, 41% involved alco-hol. 

“If you plan on drinking this weekend, plan on a safe and sober ride home,” Lieutenant 
Brett Bourgeous said.” Think of your loved ones, friends, and fami-ly before thinking 
about driving after you’ve had a few drinks.” 

According to AAA Southern California, more than five million Californians will travel 
over the 4th of July holiday. With most traveling by car, allow extra time to get to your 
destination. 

While some festivities may include alcohol, driving under the influence also in-cludes 
impairment from prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and marijuana. Do 
your research and be informed about how certain drugs may affect your driving ability. 

If you are hosting friends and family for barbecues and watching fireworks shows, offer 
nonalcoholic drinks for designated sober drivers and monitor who is drinking. If you 
see people leaving who have been drinking, offer to have them stay the night or make 
arrangements for them to take a sober ride home. 

If you see someone who appears impaired or driving recklessly, call 9-1-1.
