Ocean City Police Steps Up Drunk Driving Patrols

The Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) late last month engaged in a concentrated and focused effort to combat impaired driving and underage drinking and is pledging more of the same in the coming weeks.

In conjunction with a national program conducted by law enforcement agencies in Maryland around the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the OCPD in late November participated in Project SOLO, or Saving Our Loved Ones. An extension or expansion of standard enforcement efforts, Project SOLO deployed mass patrols on area roads known to have higher instances of alcohol-related crashes.

“Impaired driving is a grave issue that results in the death of someone in Maryland every 57 hours,” said OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPino this week. “Just one loss of life is one too many and a dedicated effort such as Project SOLO will help reduce such preventable, shocking consequences from happening on our roadways.”

The State Police are trying to raise funds for O'Malley as well, and will write Arbitrary and Capricious tickets and are flooding the Court System with them; hoping you will pay the fine attached!
