The special enforcement period starts 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 27, 2022, and runs through 3:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2022. Memorial Day is one of the busiest travel holidays of the year and police will be out in force to remove impaired and reckless drivers from our highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers can expect to see sobriety checkpoints and increased patrols by State Police and local law enforcement agencies during this holiday weekend. Troopers will be using both marked State Police vehicles and Concealed Identity Traffic Enforcement (CITE) vehicles as part of this crackdown to more easily identify motorists who are violating the law. CITE vehicles allow the Trooper to better observe driving violations. These vehicles blend in with everyday traffic but are unmistakable as emergency vehicles once the emergency lighting is activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR) at the University at Albany, 516 people were killed and 5,067 people were injured in drunk and drugged driving related crashes in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This initiative is partially funded by the Governor\u2019s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC). The GTSC and the New York State STOP-DWI Foundation remind motorists that their \u201cHave a Plan\u201d mobile app is available for Apple, Droid and Windows smartphones. The app enables New Yorkers to locate and call a taxi service and program a designated driver list. It also provides information on DWI laws and penalties, and a way to even report a suspected impaired driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Memorial Day weekend in 2020, Troopers arrested 185 people for driving while impaired, issued 9,214 total tickets, and investigated 163 crashes, which resulted in two fatalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE The New York State Police will increase patrols to combat drunk, impaired, and reckless driving throughout this Memorial Day weekend.
