Chautauqua County law enforcement ready for STOP-DWI effort today

Sheriff James Quattrone reports the “STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign for Memorial Day and Weekend” will take place starting today.

It is linked with other law enforcement initiatives already done at key times of the year and being promoted under a county and statewide umbrella. This five-day campaign targets the time period around Memorial Day.

Quattrone said the “STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign for Memorial Day and Weekend” will be from Friday to Tuesday. It is a locally driven program with all Chautauqua County law enforcement agencies participating and working together; police departments, state police and the Sheriff’s Office coordinating awareness, education and enforcement activities.

Research findings demonstrate that highly visible, publicized efforts like the “STOP-DWI Memorial Day and Weekend High Visibility Engagement Campaign” can further reduce the occurrence of DWI.

The STOP-DWI Foundation has created a new Mobile APP – “Have A Plan” that is available as a free download for smart phones to help find safe rides home no matter where you may be celebrating. Go to www.stopdwi.org/mobileapp or visit your APP store.

Future STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaigns will also include July Fourth and Labor Day weekend.
