Warren County to Participate in Statewide STOP-DWI SUPER BOWL “High Visibility Engagement Campaign”
STOP-DWI Impaired Driving High Visibility Engagement Campaign runs February 9-11, 2024
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office announced today that Warren County police agencies and Warren County STOP-DWI Coordinator will participate in special efforts to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving during the upcoming Super Bowl Weekend.
The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event and Super Bowl Weekend is historically a deadly period for impaired driving. One study found the number of DWI-related crashes more than doubled on Super Bowl Sunday compared to a normal winter Sunday.
In a combined effort to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving, prevent injuries and save lives, law enforcement officers and STOP-DWI programs across New York State will be participating in special engagement efforts. The statewide STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign starts on February 9th and will end on February 11, 2024, after the big game.
The STOP-DWI Super Bowl "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.
Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.
