Madison County police agencies are joining a statewide effort aimed at keeping impaired drivers off the road during two busy August weekends. Police agencies across Madison County will take part, along with New York State Police, county sheriff’s offices and municipal departments throughout the state. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office plans to conduct a STOP DWI checkpoint on August 7 between 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. Madison County STOP DWI Coordinator Matthew White says the campaign is intended to draw attention to the dangers of driving after consuming alcohol or using drugs that can cause impairment. The August crackdown is part of the statewide “100 Days of Summer” campaign promoted by STOP DWI New York and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee.
