The Genesee County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the City of Batavia Police Department will increase patrols as part of a coordinated enforcement effort with the STOP-DWI program to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This statewide STOP-DWI enforcement initiative will take place on April 20, 2026. During this campaign, the New York State Police, county sheriff\u2019s offices, and municipal law enforcement agencies will participate in a unified effort to keep roadways safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incidents of drug-impaired driving continue to rise. While certain marijuana laws have changed, it remains illegal\u2014and dangerous\u2014to operate a vehicle while impaired by marijuana or other drugs. Drug impairment significantly reduces a driver\u2019s ability to operate a vehicle safely, making it just as hazardous as driving under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers are reminded to \u201cHave a Plan\u201d before traveling. Impaired driving is completely preventable with simple preparation. Arrange for a designated driver, use a rideshare service, or plan for another safe way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
