State troopers made many stops for impaired driving during a recent enforcement campaign across Minnesota. (Jeff Wheeler/The Minnesota Star Tribune) Law enforcement from 300 agencies across Minnesota will be out in full force looking for impaired drivers as part of a campaign to encourage motorists to drive sober and keep the roads safe at a time when traffic fatalities are on the rise.

With travel picking up for the holiday season, Minnesota State Patrol is cracking down on intoxicated drivers. The patrol is starting its DWI enforcement blitz tonight and running it through New Year’s Eve.

Minnesota agencies are adding extra DWI enforcement on Minnesota roads this holiday season with the hopes of preventing traffic deaths and convincing people to drive sober or find another safe way home.
