On New Year's Eve 2015 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over': Greenwich Police

Drive sober or get pulled over.

That’s the New Year’s Eve holiday message from Greenwich Police who are planning to have additional patrols in town for the holiday.

“Don’t drive drunk. Use Uber, Safe Rides or a sober friend to drive,” said Lt. Kraig Gray. “It’s a traditional holiday and it’s natural for people to go out and party hard. Just don’t drive … We will have additional patrols on the roads paid for with (state) grants.”

Instead of a scheduled sobriety checkpoint, there will be roving patrols looking for drunk drivers, Gray said.

Gray also cautioned residents who plan to attend holiday parties to make sure they keep their homes secure from burglars.

“If people are going out for even a short bit, a couple hours, set your alarms, lock your doors,” Gray said.
