Tell Us: DWI Sweeps

Are they effective?

This Labor Day weekend,  are lauching a "centralized STOP-DWI Enforcement" initiative, funded by a county grant, officials say.

County Executive Edward P. Mangano says police "are targeting drunk drivers and looking to prevent the kind of senseless alcohol-related accidents that often occur during a holiday weekend."

Which has us wondering: Do you thinks such sweeps are effective? What else can the community do to deter drunk driving? Tell us in the comments.

I base what I said on what we continually see in our newspapers,that is with DWI arrests and people killed on our roads.
