Garland Police stepped up its Driving While Intoxicated patrols, from Dec. 18 through Jan. 3 in an effort to keep Garland citizens and visitors safe during the Christmas and New Year Holiday. The number of DWI arrests made during the 17 days of increased enforcement was 18.
The added enforcement resulted in five DWI arrests. In addition, Garland’s regular patrols logged 13 DWI arrests bringing the total to 18 arrests.
The additional enforcement was paid for by a state funded grant from TxDOT known as the Impaired Driving Mobilization Grant.
