During the three-day St. Patrick's Day crackdown, members of the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police, Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department, Town of Hyde Park Police Department and Village Millerton Police Department conducted impaired driving details throughout the county in addition to their regular patrols, said Lt. Frank LaMonica Jr.
These details were funded by the Governors Traffic Safety Committee and the NYS STOP-DWI Foundation which for the fifth year in a row awarded the Dutchess County STOP-DWI Program a “Crackdown Enforcement Grant."
"This is another strong reminder that if any of your holiday “plans” don’t include a sober ride home the consequences could be severe," said Dutchess County STOP-DWI Coordinator William C. Johnson.
