Police Add Extra Patrols for Holiday Weekend

New York State Police and local law enforcement agencies will increase patrols to crack down on drunk and drugged driving and other traffic infractions during the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Law enforcement statewide will conduct sobriety checkpoints and target reckless and aggressive driving to keep New York highways safe during what is considered the busiest travel weekend of the summer.

“State Police and local law enforcement agencies will once again be out on New York’s roadways this holiday weekend making sure they are safe for drivers and passengers,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “We want New Yorkers to have fun this holiday weekend, but we also want them to do so responsibly. We have no tolerance for drivers whose reckless actions endanger the lives of others.”

The campaign, which is funded by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, began Wednesday at 6 p.m. and will run until midnight on Sunday.
