The Westchester County Police Department is reminding residents to celebrate responsibly this New Year’s Eve, with officers conducting increased DWI patrols tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 31, and into the early hours of New Year’s Day, Wednesday, Jan. 1.
"Our commitment to remove impaired drivers from our roadways is something that never takes a holiday," the department wrote in a social media post on Tuesday.
To avoid making what could be a life-altering mistake, police encourage residents to plan ahead by arranging for a designated driver, using a ride-sharing service, or taking a cab.
“Don’t let that friend who has had one too many leave the party and get behind the wheel,” the department said.
