Orleans County Sheriff Chris Bourke said there will be an increased focus this weekend on impaired driving in Orleans County.

“The ‘4/20’ marijuana culture celebration is a deadly period for impaired driving,” Bourke said. “In a combined effort to bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving, prevent injuries and save lives, law enforcement officers across New York State and STOP-DWI programs will be participating in special engagement efforts.”

The 4/20 STOP-DWI Impaired Driving High Visibility Engagement Campaign runs from today through Sunday.
