Statewide DWI Enforcement Campaign During Holidays

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is coordinating a statewide driving while impaired (DWI) extra enforcement campaign starting today (Wednesday, Nov. 27).

Officials say more than 300 local law enforcement agencies will be providing extra DWI enforcement weekends through New Year’s Eve.

Drivers are urged to make smart, responsible decisions and choose to drive sober to prevent tragedy during the holidays.

Preliminary data shows that 418 people have died in traffic crashes so far this year, and there were 664 alcohol-related driving deaths in Minnesota from 2019 to 2023.
