A local law enforcement leader is reminding people to be safe this Memorial Day weekend, while also remembering the reason behind the holiday. 

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers is asking the community to remember the service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice as they participate in Memorial Day celebrations this weekend. 

The Chief is also asking that people stay aware of their neighbors during celebrations, and to keep noise levels to a respectable level. 

Chief Lowers is offering similar reminders to other popular drinking holidays: celebrate responsibly and always have a sober driver.
