The campaign begins today and will go until this Sunday (Nov. 26).
The Cortland County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Cortland Police Department and the Village of Homer Police Department are involved in the campaign, which aims to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.
“Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year,” stated in a release. “(Local) law enforcement agencies and local STOP-DWI Programs will collaborate across the state and will be out in force in this coordinated effort to reduce the number of impaired driving-related injuries and deaths.”
The campaign is one of many statewide initiatives promoted by STOP-DWI New York and Governor Kathy Hochul’s traffic safety committee. The campaign will also target the Holiday Season at the end of this year.
