New York State Police issued 11,582 tickets during this year’s St. Patrick’s Day enforcement initiative.
The campaign began last Friday and continued until Monday. This year’s enforcement was one day longer than the 2024 initiative.
During the campaign, which was funded by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, the New York State Police utilized sobriety checkpoints, additional DWI patrols, and underage drinking and sales to minors detail. State Police also ticketed distracted drivers who use handheld electronic devices.
State Troopers arrested 239 people for DWI and investigated 563 crashes, which resulted in no fatalities.
As part of the enforcement, Troopers also targeted speeding and aggressive drivers across the State. Below is a sampling of the total tickets that were issued.
