The Austin Police Department will be conducting a DWI Enforcement and No Refusal Initiative that will coincide with the upcoming Christmas and New Year holiday season. The initiative will be in effect each night beginning December 17 through January 1.
In an effort to enforce DWI laws, this initiative aims to keep the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions, and to apply for blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required by law.
The Austin Police Department, TXDOT, and the City of Austin Transportation Department are continuously focused on preventing lives from being lost on the streets, highways and waterways of Austin. The Department is dedicated to making the roadways and waterways of Austin safe for residents and visitors through education and enforcement.
