Law enforcement officers across Bexar County will set out to keep your roadways safe during the holiday weekend. Beginning on Friday May 23, 2008 at 5:00pm officers from the Bexar County DWI Task Force agencies will take part in the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office “No Refusals Accepted for Memorial Weekend” initiative. The initiative allows police officers to obtain blood evidence by applying for a search warrant. Upon issuance of the warrant blood will be drawn from persons who have refused to provide a breath specimen after being stopped and probable cause exists for a DWI arrest.

It's time for Fiesta 2008 and our annual Press Event Wednesday, April 16th at UTSA Downtown to kick off the Coalition's Drinking or Driving / Tomas o Manejas Campaign for Fiesta.
We hope to send a county wide message asking the community to have a safe Fiesta Week this year and make a responsible decision to designate a non-drinking driver if they choose to drink. We want the residents of our county to feel safe during this time of year knowing that there are police officers on their roadways vigilantly watching for dangerous impaired drivers and volunteers at the various events who are trained to spot underage drinkers and patrons who need a cab ride home.
As law enforcement officers we too want our families and coworkers to feel safe on the roadways during this time of year. So we ask the community to take advantage of public transportation, take a cab, designate a sober driver, don't drink and drive, and get to and from the events safely.
