The statewide STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign is currently underway and will conclude following Labor Day, Monday, September 6.

“While many will celebrate this holiday weekend, we ask residents to do so safely – if you plan on including alcohol in your celebrations, please also plan for a ride home so as not to endanger your life or the lives of those with whom you share the road. We are grateful to the dedicated men and women of law enforcement who are patrolling our roadways and protecting motorists from impaired drivers," Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro stated.
