Lower Merion Police Cracking Down On DUI For St Paddy's Day Week

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — St. Patrick's Day is coming up, and that means police will be out cracking down on impaired driving. The Irish holiday is Wednesday and will surely include many people imbibing alcoholic beverages.

With that in mind, Lower Merion Police will be out in force to stop impaired driving.

Police will be conducting Impaired Driving Patrols throughout the township all week.

The focus will be on finding motorists who are operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.

This initiative is in partnership with a national impaired driving crackdown featuring intensified, highly visible enforcement activities using the tagline “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

Roving Patrol Details are funded by a PennDOT grant and are one of many tools used to increase public safety through increased awareness created by high profile enforcement.
