Extra DWI patrol planned during holidays
Turkey, stuffing and unfortunately DWIs are all a part of Thanksgiving and other holiday celebrations this time of year. As people get together for the holidays, McLeod County area law enforcement will be taking drunk drivers off the road as they conduct extra DWI patrols. The extra enforcement campaign starts Nov. 25 and runs on weekends through Jan. 2.
The enforcement is part of a statewide effort with officers, deputies and troopers from more than 300 agencies working overtime with funding provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS) coordinates the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement and education effort.
