DWI Saturation Patrol Coming To The Concord Area
New Hampshire State Police will be traveling the highways and byways of the capital region Sept. 26, Sept. 27 looking for drunken drivers.
CONCORD, NH — While no one should be drinking and driving, do not say you have not been warned: This weekend, New Hampshire State Police will be patrolling Interstates and other roadways looking for drunken drivers and other scofflaws in and around Concord and the capital region.
Troop D troopers will be on patrol Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 to take "an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving when impaired," according to Lt. Chad Lavoie of Troop D in Concord.
The state is using funds and grants from the NH Office of Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to offset the costs.
