Aug. 14—The Euclid police department in a Facebook post thanked Discount Drug Mart at 725 E. 200th St., in the city, for allowing Community Policing Specialist Kate McLaughin to post a bollard cover with an anti-drunk driving slogan on the front. August is known for its national campaign known as Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. The campaign's goals according to its website is to raise awareness of the 11,000 deaths that are caused by drunk driving every year. The number of drunk driving deaths has increased by 14% from 2019 with 11,654 deaths in 2020, that equates to about one death every 45 minutes.
