<br /> <br />As stated in the requirements for Safe and Sober funds, public <br /> <br />awareness is imperative. Given the fact that four separate, yet <br /> <br />combining departments will be participating in the Safe and Sober <br /> <br />program, a larger population will be reached. Materials supplied <br /> <br />through the grant will be filtered to the public prior to key <br /> <br />enforcement dates. This should invoke the perception of <br /> <br />inability to slip by without being caught. <br /> <br />In addition to these materials, news articles will appear in <br /> <br />local papers covering most of the Sherburne County area. The Elk <br /> <br />River Star News is very pro-law enforcement. Weekly articles <br /> <br />. covering calls for service, certain arrests, and public <br /> <br />perception appear. This paper covers roughly one third of the <br /> <br />county. The West Sherburne Tribune covers roughly two thirds of <br /> <br />the county and will also carry program information prior to each <br /> <br />phase. <br /> <br />Several local organizations including Project 55, 55 Alive, and <br /> <br />MADD, will allow local enforcement to speak concerning the need <br /> <br />for public perception to change concerning drinking and driving. <br /> <br />Interviews with local radio stations will reach out to those not <br /> <br />aware through other means of the program and its goals. These <br /> <br />would include Princeton, St. Cloud, and hopefully, certain talk <br /> <br /> <br />.onal pages may be incIIJded 10 adequalely describe Port 8 <br />
