The Arcadia Police Department Encourages Safe St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations
 
Arcadia, Calif. – This St. Patrick’s Day, the Arcadia Police Department will be on alert for suspected impaired drivers and reminds the community to celebrate the holiday responsibly.
 
“Have a game plan before you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day,” Arcadia Police Department Lieutenant Brett Bourgeous said. “Designate a sober driver or make other plans to get home safely.”
 
During the 2019 St. Patrick’s Day holiday period, nearly half of all traffic deaths throughout the country involved a drunk driver.
 
Remember, alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Cannabis, prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and illegal drugs can all lead to a DUI.
 
If you ever see a suspected drunk driver on the road, call 911.
