Martin, Tenn.–The Martin Police Department, along with its sponsor, Volunteer Distributing Co.,
Inc. are reluctantly announcing the cancellation of the safety bus program this
New Year’s holiday.
Assistant Police Chief Phillip Fuqua, after careful consideration, the department has determined that they cannot safely operate the bus while following CDC COVID-19 guidelines.
Fuqua said, “We still want to encourage people to drink responsibly and to make arrangements for a
sober driver. Hopefully, this pandemic will subside and we will be able to continue
our partnership and operate the safety bus in the future. Please enjoy the holidays
and be careful.”
