DWI Enforcement

Woodbury Public Safety on its Facebook page Friday reminded people that statewide drunk driving crackdown continues over the Labor Day weekend.

From the post:

As Minnesota traffic deaths continue to surge in 2013, extra DWI patrols will be on the roads throughout the state Aug. 16–Sept. 2. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign aims to prevent drunk driving crashes and resulting deaths. Minnesota drunk driving crashes have killed 585 people in the last five years.
