Irving Police Department Labor Day weekend No-Refusal Operation

The Irving Police Department will be conducting a DWI No-Refusal Operation over the Labor Day weekend (Aug. 31 to Sep.1). The operation is in conjunction with the State’s “Drink. Drive. Go to Jail.” campaign. The Department will have additional officers on duty with the primary purpose of locating and arresting impaired drivers. The high-visibility will also greatly enhance the efforts to discourage drunk driving.

Anyone who is arrested for DWI will only be offered a blood test. If the arrested person refuses to provide a sample, a judge will be present in order to authorize a warrant for a blood draw. The “Drink. Drive. Go to Jail.” campaign has proven to be a very successful deterrent that reminds the public of the consequences of driving drunk. When making plans for the Labor Day holiday, ensure that you have made arrangements for a safe way home. If you are on the road and suspect someone of driving drunk, please call the police.

The Irving Police Department will continue to partner with TxDOT and local law enforcement agencies in an effort to make our roadways safe.

For more information on this or other special enforcement efforts and education please contact Lt. Lewis Remington, Special Operations Division, Irving Police Department (972) 721-721-7840.
