Dearborn, MI – Dearborn Police are urging residents to drive sober this holiday season as extra patrols hit the streets to target impaired drivers. The department joined a statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign to prevent crashes and keep roads safe through the holidays.
According to the Dearborn Police Department, additional officers will be on duty throughout the Christmas and New Year’s period, watching for signs of impaired driving and other traffic violations. The initiative aligns with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s effort to reduce alcohol-related crashes, which tend to spike during festive celebrations.
“Plan ahead, choose a safe ride, and help everyone arrive home safely,” police said in their announcement. The reminder comes with a warning: a DUI can quickly “freeze your holiday plans,” leading to fines, license suspension, or even jail time.
Authorities emphasize that ride-sharing services, designated drivers, or public transportation are safe and legal alternatives to getting behind the wheel after drinking.
Dearborn officers say their message is simple—celebrate responsibly and arrive alive.
