As you gather with friends and family to watch the big game, please make sure to plan ahead and designate a sober driver or use a ride-sharing service.

Drinking and driving is a serious offense that can have devastating consequences. It's not only illegal, but it also puts yourself and others at risk of serious injury or even death. Our officers will be out in full force, patrolling the roads and looking for impaired drivers.

Here are some tips to help you stay safe:

• Designate a sober driver before the party begins.
• Use a ride-sharing service or call a taxi if you've been drinking.
• Stay overnight at a friend's house or hotel if you've been drinking.
• Never get in a car with a driver who has been drinking.

Stay safe, and let's enjoy the game!
