St. Lawrence County police agencies will participate in a Thanksgiving weekend enforcement effort to crackdown on impaired driving.
St. Lawrence County’s police agencies will undertake their yearly Thanksgiving impaired driving crackdown, according to the St. Lawrence County Special Traffic Options Program for Driving While Intoxicated (STOP-DWI) program.
“While we spend Thanksgiving with friends and family giving praise and thanks for our good fortune and blessings, law enforcement officers across New York State will take to the roads in an effort to stop impaired driving, prevent injuries and save lives. The statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown efforts start on Nov. 23 and will end on Nov. 27. New York State Police and local law enforcement agencies across the state will be out in force,” said Michele James of St. Lawrence County STOP-DWI.
The campaign will also target the national holiday season in December, according to the county STOP-DWI.
“People wrongly think they can calculate their own blood alcohol content (BAC) based on the number of drinks they’ve had or the length of time between drinks. There’s no easy formula that applies to everyone equally. Many variable factors (e.g., body weight, alcohol content, and amount of food eaten before drinking) contribute to a person’s BAC,” James said.
