Thirty-one (31) arrests and 154 citations were issued during the increased Driving While
Intoxicated (DWI) enforcement period.
The Garland Police Department stepped up DWI patrols from Friday, March 4, through Sunday,
March 20, in an effort to keep Garland citizens and visitors safe during the spring break holiday.
During the enforcement period, Garland’s regular patrols made thirty (30) DWI arrests. The
additional enforcement for the same period resulted in one (1) additional DWI arrest and four (4)
other arrests for unrelated offenses.
The additional enforcement was paid for by a state-funded grant from TxDot, known as the
Impaired Driving Mobilization Grant (IDM).
The Garland Police Department would like to thank TxDOT for its assistance in allowing officers
to keep the city streets safe during the Spring Break Holiday.
