Local law enforcement have a message for all as we say farewell to 2024 and ring in 2025: Make safety the top priority. Uintah County Sheriff’s Office wishes everyone a safe and prosperous New Year and shares, “We would ask people to make a plan before you party. Don’t get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. Be responsible, get a ride, take a cab, just don’t drive…and Happy New Year!” Vernal PD also reminds the public that officers will be out in force to enforce public safety. They also remind the public of their recent partnership with A1 Cab to help prevent impaired driving during the holiday season. For today and tomorrow, anyone who calls A1 Cab for a ride and says the words “Happy Holidays” to the driver will receive a 10% discount on their cab fare. “Whether it’s a night out or a holiday gathering, if you’ve had a little too much holiday cheer, take advantage of this option,” shares Vernal Police Department. “It’s much cheaper than a DUI and a one-way VPD ride to jail.” During the day, reach A1 Cab at 435-219-1457. During the night, reach A1 Cab at 435-219-4992.
