Police Dept News Release:

STEPPED-UP DWI ENFORCEMENT

Garland Police Officers will be stepping-up DWI enforcement for the next two weeks, covering three weekends.

 

The added enforcement, from August 17 through September 3, is aimed at stopping drinking and driving by both adults and minors as we go into the Labor Day holiday period.

 

Since the beginning of the year Garland officers have made 389 DWI arrests with an additional 22 arrests of minors for driving under the influence.

 

Stepped-up enforcement will be in the evening and early morning with officers driving both marked and unmarked police cars.

 

The DWI-IDM program (Driving While Intoxicated-Impaired Driver Mobility) is sponsored by TxDOT.
