The Austin Police Department (APD) wants to remind the public that officers will be on patrol and enforcing a DWI No Refusal Initiative that will coincide with the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. The operation will be active from Thursday, May 23rd thru Monday, May 27th.

 

This initiative is an effort to enforce DWI laws, keep the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions, and apply for blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required by law. This initiative will also focus on highways, high-speed roadways, and waterways.

 

The Austin Police Department and the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department continue to focus on preventing lives from being lost on Austin's streets, highways, and waterways. The Department is dedicated to making the roadways and waterways of Austin safe for residents and visitors through education and enforcement.
