MSP to Increase Patrols, DUI Enforcement Efforts For Cinco De Mayo Weekend

To combat distracted, aggressive, and impaired driving, troopers at each of the 23 Maryland State Police barracks, as well as, the State Police Impaired Driving Reduction Effort (SPIDRE) Team will conduct statewide DUI saturation patrols and high-visibility enforcement. Maryland State Troopers will be using a variety of patrol initiatives throughout Cinco de Mayo to keep traffic moving, respond quickly to highway incidents, and take appropriate enforcement actions when violations are observed that threaten the safety of motorists. Along with saturation patrols, some of the initiatives planned by the State Police include high visibility enforcement conducted by troopers from the Maryland State Police Berlin, Centreville, Easton, Princess Anne, and Salisbury barracks along U.S. Routes 13, 50, 404, Maryland Route 413, and throughout their respective counties. Other enforcement efforts will take place throughout the rest of the state as well.
