NBTPD Safety Reminder
Our officers will be out on extra patrols during the week leading up to March 17th, as well as on St. Patrick’s Day itself, keeping an eye out for impaired drivers.

Impaired driving is easier to spot than you think. Officers frequently observe:

• Failing to maintain a lane
• Swerving or reacting to things that aren’t there
• Illegal turns or lane changes
• Failing to stop or signal
• Driving significantly under the speed limit

Remember: impairment isn’t just caused by alcohol.

🚫 Illegal drugs
⚠️ Many prescription medications
⚠️ Some over‑the‑counter medications
🌿 And while medical marijuana is legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is NOT.

If you plan on drinking or taking anything that may affect your ability to drive:
✅ Stay home or ✅ Use a designated driver or rideshare: Official Uber® Site | Official Lyft® Site.

Please plan ahead and celebrate responsibly.
