Police Emphasize Accountability and Offer Public Safety Warning

Department officials stressed that impaired driving is a deliberate choice—one that endangers drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and families across the community.

"There is never an acceptable excuse for driving impaired," department officials stated, reaffirming that aggressive enforcement of impaired-driving laws will continue indefinitely. Authorities strongly urge motorists to plan ahead by arranging for a designated driver, using a ride-share service, or staying in place if they are unable to drive safely.
