Law enforcement across the U.S. is ramping up DUI enforcement and encouraging safe celebrations as Super Bowl LX approaches.
As Super Bowl LX approaches, law enforcement from Seattle to New England is enhancing safety measures to prevent DUI incidents and promote responsible celebrations. Agencies are rolling out public safety messages and increasing patrols particularly focused on areas expected to host large watch parties. Officers are urging fans to plan for sober rides home and to stay vigilant about their choices in substances consumed during the festivities.
The Seattle Police Department utilized social media to express concerns about unsafe behavior during the Super Bowl, highlighting the dangers of impaired driving. Their warning emphasizes the life-threatening consequences of driving under the influence of any substance, including alcohol and cannabis.
