Stop DWI Campaign Targets Nassau's South Shore

MINEOLA, N.Y. -- A unified show of force will take aim at drunken and aggressive drivers on Nassau County's south shore this weekend. 

On Saturday, June 23 officers from Nassau County, Freeport, Long Beach, Lynbrook and Rockville Centre police departments will participate in a "STOP DWI Initiative." 

In addition to the paid police officers, auxiliary police officers will be positioned around the south shore to hand out educational materials about the dangers of drunk driving to drivers. 

A press conference is scheduled Thursday at the Nassau County Police Department's Highway Patrol Bureau in Bellmore to discuss the campaign.
