OSWEGO, NY – With the upcoming Labor Day weekend, Oswego Police will once again have added patrols as part of the “Expanded Quality of Life Initiative.”
They will also be out in force as part of the annual nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown on drunk driving.
Expanded Quality of Life Patrols have been utilized by the Oswego Police Department to help quell neighborhood disturbances and will also be dedicated to actively addressing the underlying problems such as underage / excessive drinking, illegal parties, noise violations and the general disruptive behavior in our neighborhoods.
The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is an effective nationwide drunk driving initiative that has been coordinated locally by the Oswego County STOP-DWI Office, and will aggressively target drunk drivers as part of a comprehensive campaign to curb drunk driving.
Oswego Police are encouraging residents and returning, or new, college students to get involved by reporting to police any suspected criminal activity, suspicious situation, or quality of life concern so that we can help to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
