Nys Dwi
Number of DWI arrests in a city?
I want to know how many DWI arrests happened in a small-medium sized city in Upstate New York. There are four police agencies – city, county and 2 nearby universities. My question is should I bother looking at NYS Police as well? Would they patrol in the city, or is there little to no chance of them booking a DWI in the city over one of the four other agencies? My gut feeling is that they stick to the highways (which I am not concerned with) and only assist in serious matters. Any help is appreciated.
I only ask because the records for the 4 agencies are readily accessible online, and the NYS police ones are not
You are correct the state police mostly stick to the highways but if they are off the highway (say on a meal break) and see a car driving erratically they can and do pull them over for a possible DUI stop but those would be small in number compared to the dui stops/arrests they make on the highway. If you search time period includes a holiday (like new years eve) you may want to try and obtain the information because those are the times when enforcement is stepped up and multi agency DUI task forces are sometimes utilized and state police may be used on the local streets.
