Allegany County to Participate in Statewide STOP-DWI

SUPER BOWL

“High Visibility Engagement Campaign”

 

STOP-DWI Impaired Driving High Visibility Engagement Campaign runs

Friday, February 9, to Sunday, February 11

 

Allegany County Administrator Carissa Knapp announced today that Allegany County police agencies and STOP-DWI Coordinators will participate in special efforts to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving. 

The statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown efforts start on Friday, February 9, and will end on Sunday, February 11. The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event and Super Bowl Weekend is historically a deadly period for impaired driving. In a combined effort to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving, preventing injuries, and saving lives, law enforcement officers across New York State and STOP-DWI programs will be participating in special engagement efforts.  

The STOP-DWI Super Bowl High Visibility Engagement Campaign is one of many statewide initiatives promoted by STOP-DWI NY and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee.  The Statewide STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign also targets Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day/End of Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Holiday Season, and St. Patrick’s Day. 

Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.
