🚔🎄 TODAY STARTS: HOLIDAY BOOZE IT & LOSE IT CAMPAIGN 🎄🚔

Today marks the start of the NC Governor's Highway Safety Program (NC GHSP) Holiday Booze It & Lose It Campaign, kicks off today, December 15, 2025 — a time when celebrations are high, traffic is heavy, and impaired driving becomes especially dangerous.

Here’s the not-so-fun part:
📊 Nationwide, nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities involve an impaired driver.
📊 During the holiday season, alcohol-related crashes spike — often late at night and on weekends.
📊 One bad decision behind the wheel can change lives forever.

Here’s the slightly fun (but serious) reminder:
🍷 Eggnog + keys = ❌
🍺 “I’m fine to drive” = ❌
🎅 Santa doesn’t bail you out of jail

During this campaign, extra patrols and increased enforcement will be out across Columbus County specifically looking for impaired drivers. If you choose to drive impaired, you should fully expect to lose your license, your money, and possibly your freedom.

🎁 HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS 🎁
✔️ Plan a sober ride before the party starts
✔️ Use a designated driver or rideshare
✔️ Stay overnight if needed
✔️ See an impaired driver? Call it in — you could save a life

We want everyone to enjoy the holidays, make it home safely, and start the New Year on the right foot — not with flashing blue lights in the rearview mirror.

👉 Drive sober. Arrive alive. Booze It & Lose It.

With the implementation of Iryna’s Law, county officials—including sheriffs and county managers—have been seeking options to monitor defendants awaiting trial without funding yet another costly program. Having been involved in creating offender-pay models and their hybrid versions over the years, we are pleased to introduce our company.

Our management team brings over 100 years of combined service to the justice system. Our staff consist of former and retired corrections and law enforcement personnel.

We have worked with the North Carolina General Assembly on Laura’s Law and the North Carolina Electronic Monitoring Law.
We have testified in committees and helped craft legislation and policies to enhance public safety while giving judges options—options to assist victims while cost-effectively stemming the flow of overcrowding.

Whether you need a full-service case management program, a hybrid partnership or pilot, or an outright offender-pay “no county responsibility” model, we are here to assist you.

Please feel free to let us know how we can help.

“Cited with recognition for services to courts and treatment centers, in 2018, CAM was recognized as offering products that revolutionized the way courts, agencies, and treatment providers monitor alcohol-involved offenders.”

About Iryna’s Law

Iryna’s Law is a new law in North Carolina that took effect on December 1, 2025. It was named after Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was tragically killed on a light rail train in Charlotte. The law aims to enhance public safety and address issues related to pretrial release and mental health.
