TTL News 310 Posted April 20, 2023 Chemung County Executive, Christopher J. Moss, announced today that Chemung County police agencies and STOP-DWI Coordinators will participate in special efforts to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving. The statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown efforts start on April 20th and will end on April 21st. The “4/20” marijuana culture celebration is a deadly period for impaired driving. In a combined effort to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving, prevent injuries and save lives law enforcement officers across New York State and STOP-DWI programs will be participating in special engagement efforts. The STOP-DWI 4/20 STOP Drugged Driving High Visibility Engagement Campaign is one of many statewide initiatives promoted by STOP-DWI NY and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. The Statewide STOP- DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign also targets Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day/End of Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Holiday Season and St. Patrick’s Day, as well as other high-risk periods throughout the year. Officials say highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.
