There were 12 Driving While Intoxicated arrests were made during the 18 days of increased enforcement. From Aug. 19 through Sept. 5, the Garland Police Department stepped up its DWI patrols in an effort to keep Garland citizens and visitors safe during the Labor Day holiday.
The added enforcement resulted in four DWI arrests and two additional arrests for other offenses. During the same time period Garland’s regular patrol logged an additional eight DWI arrests bringing the total to 12 impaired driving related arrests.
The additional enforcement was paid for by a state funded grant from TxDot known as the Impaired Driving Mobilization grant.
