STOP-DWI

The STOP-DWI (Special Traffic Operations Program for Driving While Intoxicated) program was enacted by the NYS Legislature in 1981 to allow county governments to coordinate local efforts to reduce alcohol- and other drug-related traffic crashes with a comprehensive and financially self-sustaining alcohol and highway safety program.

The Dutchess County STOP-DWI Program’s mission is to deter alcohol- and drug-impaired driving through enhanced enforcement, prosecution, rehabilitation and education services.
