STOP-DWI END OF SUMMER / LABOR DAY High Visibility Engagement Campaign

STOP DWI Centered

Genesee County law enforcement agencies, including the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office and City of Batavia Police Department, are participating in a coordinated effort with the STOP-DWI program to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving.

The statewide STOP-DWI Campaign runs through Monday, September 1st.  Law enforcement officers across New York State are actively engaged in efforts to stop impaired driving, prevent injuries and save lives.

  • Plan a safe ride home.

  • Call a taxi, a ride service or a sober friend.

  • Help save a life - if someone has been consuming drugs or alcohol, do not let that person get behind the wheel.  Take their keys and help them arrange a safe ride home.

STOP-DWI efforts across New York have led to significant reductions in the number of alcohol and drug-related fatalities; however, still too many lives are being lost because of crashes caused by drunk or impaired drivers.  Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaigns aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.
