Garden City Police Stepping Up DWI Enforcement

GARDEN CITY, NY — The Garden City Police Department will be stepping up DWI enforcement this holiday weekend.

The GCPD, along with other police departments throughout the state, will be participating in the STOP DWI Enforcement Initiative. It is being funded with money from the Nassau County Traffic Safety STOP DWI Program and the New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

“During this initiative, the department will be deploying extra patrols on village roadways, strictly enforcing all DWI and impaired driving laws," said GCPD Commissioner Kenneth Jackson. "These patrols play an important part in preventing holiday tragedies that seem far too common.”

Jackson urges everyone to be responsible when attending holiday parties. If you choose to drink, make arrangements to have a sober person, taxi or ride share program take you home.
