Broome County STOP DWI Program

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Over the weekend, BCSO Road Patrol made their 15th DWI arrest this month?

Getting unsafe and impaired drivers off the road saves lives.

Don’t leave it to chance. Have a plan and don’t drink and drive.

Our Broome County Sheriff's Office has added additional patrols for holiday weekends like our local St. Patrick’s Day celebrations to help keep the roads safe for Broome County families.

If you’re drinking this weekend, please don’t drive. Be safe and have a plan.

Our STOP DWI team had a great time with students from across the region at the Section 4 Student Athlete Leadership Conference in Binghamton.

Attendees had a chance to participate in activities designed to illustrate some of the dangers of driving and decision making under the influence or impairment of drugs and alcohol. Important lessons for students of every community.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄? Countywide DWI Arrests Nearly Tripled in 2025.

Thanks to increased enforcement, BCSO DWI arrests nearly tripled across Broome County, year-over-year from 2024 to 2025.

In 2025, the Broome County Sheriff's Office began administrating the local STOP DWI program and added an additional DWI patrol position to directly target DWI enforcement.

These additional patrols, along with increased enforcement from all our local law enforcement agency partners means more dangerous and impaired drivers are being taken off the road than ever before.

Be safe, have a plan and don't drink and drive.

❤️ Sweet message ❤️ Serious plan ❤️
