Saratoga County to Participate In: “Statewide Stop-DWI Super Bowl High Visibility Engagement Campaign”

SARATOGA COUNTY — Saratoga County Sheriff Michael H. Zurlo announced this week that Saratoga County police agencies will participate in special efforts to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving. 

The statewide STOP-DWI high visibility engagement campaign efforts will run through Feb. 13.

According to a statement issued by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, “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, prevent injuries and save lives law enforcement officers across New York State and STOP-DWI programs will be participating in special engagement efforts.” 

“Drunk and drugged driving is completely and totally preventable – a little advanced planning is all it takes,” Sheriff Zurlo said. “If you’re going to drink or use drugs at all, have a sober ride ready. No excuses.”

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