Countywide crackdown of DWI will begin this weekend | News

This weekend and other select weekends throughout the year, Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputies along with other local law enforcement agencies will be taking part in a countywide impaired driving crackdown.

This weekend's crackdown aims to reduce the number of injuries due to impaired driving and to raise awareness that police agencies will be looking for drivers who are operating motor vehicles under the influence of alcohol.

Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks says Monroe County is one of two counties in Western New York to receive funding to conduct checkpoint/saturation patrols over St. Patrick's Day Weekend.
