'Every 15 Minutes' Held At Livermore High School

LIVERMORE, CA – "Every 15 Minutes," an intensive program that highlights the dangers of drinking and driving, was presented Wednesday to juniors and seniors at Livermore High School.

Part two of the program, a student assembly, is planned for this morning. (Live video below.)

"The 'Every 15 Minutes' program is presented every other year to all juniors and seniors," the Livermore Police Department said. "This assures that each high school student will see the program during their high school years."

"Every fifteen minutes, someone in the United States is killed or seriously injured in an alcohol related collision," the department said. "The program challenges students to think about the dangers of drinking and driving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions and the impact their decisions have on family, friends, and many others."

Along with the Livermore PD, the demonstration involved the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Paramedics Plus and the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division Air Operation.

The program runs today at Foothill High School in Pleasanton.
