Harris County area law-agencies announced the arrests of 274 motorists for reportedly driving under the influence during the Labor Day weekend.
The arrests was a part of a special initiative to crack down on impaired driving during what is traditionally the “Last Hurrah,” one of the most dangerous weekends of the year.
“We are grateful that no one was killed by a drunk driver, and all law-enforcement officers made it safely back to their families,” Harris County Constable Precinct One Alan Rosen said Tuesday. “Harris County remains ground zero for drunk driving in Texas and we must continue to do more to change that.”
The Office of Harris County Constable Precinct One Alan Rosen hosted many of the county’s law enforcement agencies this weekend as part of a “No Refusal”.
That included a “one-stop shop” to offer all agencies an additional way to expedite the processing of motorists who were arrested.
Among the agencies to join Constable Precinct One in the effort: the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Dept. of Public Safety, Constable Pct. 2, Constable Pct. 3, Constable Pct. 4, Constable Pct. 5, Constable Pct. 6, Constable Pct. 7, Constable Pct. 8 and METRO Police.
