The Austin Police Department (APD) wants to remind the public that officers will be on patrol and enforcing a DWI Enforcement Initiative and an Extended No Refusal Period that will coincide with the upcoming Independence Day holiday season. The DWI Enforcement will begin on June 23rd and continue each night thru July 9th. Additionally, the Extended No Refusal period will be in effect from June 29th thru July 9th.
This initiative is an effort to enforce DWI laws while keeping the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions. Also, apply for blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required. This initiative will also focus on highways and high-speed roadways.
The Austin Police Department and the City of Austin Transportation 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.
Don't drink and drive.
