Full Notification

Happy Cinco De Mayo Novato! We encourage our community to celebrate responsibly today by planning ahead and designating a sober driver.
 
Novato Police Officers will be on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
 
“Don’t put yourself and others on the road at risk by driving impaired,” Sgt. Pourfarhani said. “If you’re planning to celebrate with a drink or two, leave your keys at home and designate a sober driver.”
 
The Novato Police Department warns the community that alcohol is not the only substance that can cause impairment. Marijuana, prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may also impair. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect your driving ability.
 
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
