Sobriety checkpoints and roving DUI patrols have been scheduled throughout the holiday season.
In addition, Stamford Mayor David Martin offered tips that residents can take to help keep friends and family safe.
“During the holiday season we want all residents to be safe," Martin said in a statement. "We especially urge all parents to take the time and talk to their young adults about the dangers of underage drinking and the consequences of their actions.”
When hosting a party where alcohol will be served, remind guests to plan ahead and designate their sober driver; offer alcohol-free beverages; and make sure all guests leave with a sober driver.
If a sober driver is unavailable, Martin and the Stamford Police department are reminding residents to call a cab, take public transportation, or call a sober friend or family member.
