Tom Green County Sheriff's Office Gearing Up for Spring Break DWI Program

SAN ANGELO, TX – The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office is looking to ramp up DWI investigations due to spring break.

The following is a statement released by the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office on Mar. 7, 2022:

As the Spring Break season approaches, we at the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office want to remind people to stay safe and drive responsibly. 

The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office is once again collaborating with the Texas Department of Transportation by participating in the Impaired Driver Mobility campaign.  The program began on March 4, 2022. 

The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office will actively participate by increasing patrols in an effort to detect and deter impaired motorists in Tom Green County.  We want to remind people to prepare in advance, call for a ride, or have a designated driver. 

Impaired driving not only means alcoholic beverage violations. Prescription medications, non-prescription medications, and controlled substances can have the similar effects on the human body as driving under the influence of alcohol. 

This is especially true when used in conjunction with one another or combined with the consumption of alcoh olic beverages.  We want everyone to enjoy this Spring Break season, and drive safely.
