D.W.I. ENFORCEMENT

Members of HPD will continue a zero tolerance enforcement of DWI laws. We plan to continue participating in Bayshore DWI saturation patrols in which we join together with surrounding Bayshore towns and then report to our respective jurisdictions and saturate the area heavily enforcing DWI laws. HPD has recently been ranked among the top in the county in DWI arrests and we plan to exceed our current standards.
