Western Alliance Team DUI Task Force
North Hills DUI Task Force
Immediate News Release

The North Hills DUI Task Force will be conducting DUI Enforcement detail during the weekend of June 19th – 21st. The North Hills DUI Task Force includes police from the communities of Bradford Woods Borough, Etna Borough, Hampton Twp, Indiana Twp, Marshall Twp, O’Hara Twp, Pine Twp, Richland Twp, Ross Twp, Shaler Twp, West Deer Twp, McCandless Twp, West View Borough, Millvale Borough, Aspinwall Borough, Reserve Township and Franklin Park Borough.

This is the Thirtieth year for the North Hills DUI Task Force and to date, 270 check points/roving DUI patrols have been conducted. There have been 2,300 individuals tested for DUI, and of those tested, 1085 have been arrested.

The purpose of the North Hills DUI Task Force is to save lives on the roadways and reduce injuries. Sobriety checkpoints are a proactive visual deterrent while also removing impaired drivers; roving or saturation patrols are traffic details with the main goal to spot and stop possible impaired drivers before they can cause harm to innocent unsuspecting motorists traveling on our roadways. Roving, Perimeter Patrols and or Saturation Patrols are often conducted to compliment a Stationary Checkpoint as well and apprehend those operators that try to avoid the checkpoint and subsequent arrest.

The North Hills DUI Task Force reminds all drivers over the age of 21 to be responsible and NEVER operate a motor vehicle while impaired. Read carefully all instruction labels on prescriptions or over the counter medications and make arrangements prior to consuming alcohol for a designated driver. Don’t risk arrest, injury or death.

Effective June 5, 2025, Paul Miller's Law (Pennsylvania Distracted Driving Law) makes it illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while driving. This includes phones, smartphones, PDAs, portable computers, and other devices capable of communication, gaming, social media, or browsing the internet. Drivers will be stopped by the police if they have a mobile device in their hand while driving, even if temporarily stopped at a traffic light or stop sign.

This law is named in memory of Paul Miller, who tragically lost his life in 2010 when a distracted driver crossed a center grass divider and crashed head-on into his car. Paul Miller's Law seeks to honor his memory by combating distracted driving and making Pennsylvania's roads safer.

Effective June 5, 2026, penalties will go into effect and citations may be issued:

Penalties:
$50 fine for using an interactive mobile device (IMD), plus court costs and fees.
Homicide by Vehicle: If distracted driving leads to a fatality, offenders may face up to 5 years in prison.

Exceptions:
Pulling over: Drivers may use a device if they pull over to a safe location off the highway.
Emergency use: Hands-free calls are allowed for emergencies, such as contacting law enforcement or emergency services.

You’ll begin to see our new street signs being installed throughout the Borough this week. This project has been in the works for quite some time, and we were able to make it happen by carefully setting aside funds in the Capital Reserve, allowing us to complete the upgrades without impacting day-to-day operations.

Parking, traffic, and regulatory signs throughout the Borough will also be replaced as part of our ongoing effort to improve public infrastructure and safety.

We know many residents have already asked about the old street signs. We have not yet determined how they will be distributed or made available, but we are discussing options and will share more information once a plan has been finalized.

We appreciate your patience as the installation work continues and look forward to completing these upgrades across Aspinwall.

**PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT**

This morning, officers and medics responded to a medical emergency involving an older adult living alone. Calls like this are unfortunately common and they present serious challenges for first responders. Locked doors, no emergency contacts, no medical history and no list of medications can delay critical care when every second matters.

To help protect yourself or a loved one, we strongly recommend the following:

Use a medical alert device and keep it with you at all times. These systems are affordable and allow you to immediately notify medics in an emergency.

Ensure a trusted neighbor has a key. Building managers or maintenance staff often have keys, but they are not always available when emergencies occur.

Post essential information on your refrigerator, including:

Emergency contact (family member or close friend)

Primary care physician

Current medications

Brief medical history

Your DNR, if applicable

Place this information in a clearly visible spot using a magnet or tape.

These simple steps can save valuable time and may truly be the difference between life and death. Please take action now—your safety depends on it.
