New York State Police and local police agencies were “out in full force” from Dec. 15 through Jan. 1, conducting a STOP-DWI holiday season crackdown enforcement effort that was funded by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee and STOP-DWI Foundation for the fifth year in a row.

““Throughout the Holiday Enforcement Crackdown campaign Law Enforcement worked tirelessly, often in severe weather conditions including this extended cold snap, to assure safety for motorists and families on our roadways,” Dutchess County STOP-DWI Coordinator Williams Johnson stated.

“Once again their combined efforts resulted in an eye-opening number of arrests.  The commitment and coordinated efforts of our law enforcement partners reaffirms that if you choose to drive impaired by alcohol or drugs in Dutchess County there is a high probability you will be identified, apprehended, and prosecuted. It’s simply not worth the risk.”
