IRVING (WBAP/KLIF) – A number of North Texas Police departments are participating in a DWI Enforcement Initiative during the Labor Day weekend.
As part of the plan, Officers will focus on locating and arresting drunk drivers. The enforcement period runs between September 2 and September 5. During that time, the participating officers will concentrate their efforts on DWI patrols in high-risk sites and at times when impaired drivers are on the roadways causing an increased potential for alcohol-related crashes involving injuries or deaths.
According to a statement from the Irving Police Department, the high visibility and enforcement efforts should serve as a warning to those who are considering driving impaired.
The Irving Police Department and TxDOT encourage people to “Plan While You Can” to avoid the consequences of impaired driving. The agencies suggest using a taxi or car service, a designated driver or public transportation as an alternative to driving after drinking.
