Each December, the Office of Grants and Research (OGR) partners with police agencies across the state as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement mobilization. OGR recently awarded grants to 125 local police departments and the State Police to increase impaired driving enforcement with overtime patrols targeting drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs during the holiday season.

Thanks to this grant you will see additional officers on patrol throughout the month of December looking for impaired drivers and making the roads safer.

Remember - If you feel different, you drive different.
