It's Memorial Day weekend and while it's the unofficial start to summer, a time for barbecues, and celebrating with friends and family, it’s also one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. That’s why New York State is ramping up its annual STOP-DWI campaign to keep our roads safe from impaired drivers.

To bring awareness to the dangers of drunk and impaired driving, law enforcement across New York State is participating in the STOP-DWI campaign. You will also see police out in full force across the Capital Region this St. Patrick's Day weekend.

Police in the Hudson Valley and across New York State are warning of an increased police presence across the Empire State.

In an effort to bring awareness to the dangers of drunk and impaired driving, law enforcement across New York state is participating in the STOP-DWI campaign. You will see police out in full force across the Capital Region this St. Patrick's Day weekend.

St. Patrick's Day is always a time to have fun and celebrate the green. Now with some restrictions being lifted, it's also a time to go out and enjoy a few green libations with friends. Make sure you are responsible when you go green today and right through the weekend. Police will be out in full force making sure the roadways are safe from drunk drivers.

When you are planning to go out and celebrate New Year's eve, make sure you also plan on a safe ride home. For the thirty third year the Albany County's Safe Ride Stop DWI will be in effect. This will include free rides and ride shares at a discount.

This Halloween will be a lot happier for you if you do the right thing, and don't drink and drive.

If you plan on going out these next few night be extra careful if you plan to have a few drinks with friends.  Police will be out in force patrolling for drunk drivers with the Albany County's Sherriff's office 89th Stop-DWI blanket patrol.
