A Message from the Brownsville Police Department

A Little Holiday Cheer Can Go a Long Way on Our Roads This Holiday Season
Remember: Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest


As party-goers celebrate the holidays with friends and family, everyone should heed Brownsville Police Department’s (BPD) warning to keep the party off the road or be ready to face the consequences. Law Enforcement will be out in force beginning December 16, cracking down on anyone caught drunk behind the wheel.

“After hearing about the dangers of drinking and driving time after time, most people have gotten the message that if they’re planning on drinking, they should always plan a safe way home,” said BPD Lt. Barry Diebold. “But sadly, millions of Americans still think they are invincible and regularly choose to get behind the wheel after having too much to drink.”

“We know that the holiday season can be one of the deadliest and most dangerous times on America’s roadways due to an increase in drunk driving.” Said Lt. Diebold. “Don’t let your 2010 end in an arrest or worse, death. Remember, whether you’ve had way too many or just one too many, it’s not worth the risk!”

The Brownsville Police Department will be conducting saturation patrols and Sobriety Checkpoints for impaired drivers and drivers violating traffic laws from Thursday Dec16, 2010, thru Monday January 3rd, 2011.

Remember, Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.
