🚔 Memorial Day High Visibility Engagement Campaign 🚔

The Batavia Police Department and the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in the statewide Memorial Day STOP-DWI High Visibility Engagement Campaign from Friday, May 22, 2026 through Monday, May 25, 2026.

As Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer and one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, law enforcement agencies across New York State will be increasing efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and help keep our roadways safe.

We encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly and plan ahead:
✅ Designate a sober driver
✅ Use a rideshare or taxi service
✅ Never drive impaired
✅ Help friends and family get home safely

Together, we can help prevent impaired driving and make our roads safer for everyone this holiday weekend.

Drive sober. Arrive safely. 🚓💙
