Enjoy the Memorial holiday weekend safely. Don't Drink & Drive. Officers will be conducting "No Refusal" enforcement.
Arlington police officers will be out this weekend looking for intoxicated drivers and working high-visibility enforcement along area roadways to locate signs of impaired drivers. The Arlington Police Department is participating in the countywide “No Refusal” program. The “No Refusal” operation starts this evening and continues through the early morning hours Monday (Friday, May 23 at 9:30 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. Monday, May 26).
During this time frame, officers will use search warrants to obtain blood specimens from people who are arrested for driving while intoxicated and refuse to provide a voluntary specimen.
To avoid the dangers of drinking and driving:
• Plan ahead
• Designate a sober driver before festivities begin
• Program your telephone with numbers of local cab companies so you can call one when you’re ready to leave
• Make arrangements to be picked up by family or friends
• If you are intoxicated and at a residential party or event at private location, spend the night where you are
• Don’t let loved ones and friends drive, if they’ve been drinking
• Report drunk drivers by calling 9-1-1. Your life or someone else’s may just depend on it.
