Press Release from Troop C:

In preparation for the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend, Troopers from - Tolland will conduct grant-funded DWI roving patrols during the late evening hours of Friday May 25, 2012 and Saturday May 26, 2012. This DWI enforcement project will primarily consist of Troop C personnel detecting and apprehending intoxicated drivers. 

Lieutenant John Albanese would also like to advise motorists that in addition to DWI enforcement, Troopers under his command will also actively enforce all of Connecticut’s motor vehicle laws.

Aggressive driving, such as driving unreasonably close to other vehicles and driving at excessive speeds, combined with failing to utilize safety restraints claims the lives of motorists on Connecticut roadways every year. We will continue to utilize marked and unmarked patrol vehicles, as well as other resources at our disposal to identify operators that violate these laws. 

Strict enforcement will occur during this 2012 Memorial Day Holiday Weekend in order to ensure public safety on Connecticut roadways.
