EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will increase patrols throughout Spring Break and St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the department said on Friday, March 14.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies will be conducting enhanced patrols countywide, targeting areas where impaired driving incidents are more prevalent.
The purpose of the increased patrol is to focus “on keeping the community safe by identifying and arresting impaired drivers,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.
“Our priority is to keep El Paso County families safe,” Sheriff Oscar Ugarte said. “If you choose to
drink, make a responsible choice — use a designated driver, a rideshare service, or public
transportation.”
