St. Patrick’s Day enforcement/Operation Dry Streets

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Florida Sheriffs Association, Florida Police Chiefs Association and the Florida Highway Patrol in a statewide DUI enforcement operation called Operation Dry Streets from March 13 through March 15.

In the Keys, where there is one road in and one road out, and few alternatives to U.S. 1 when traveling any distance at all, drunk driving is a particularly dangerous activity. Add to that the large numbers of tourists and the large numbers of bars and restaurants in the Keys and drunk driving can be extremely dangerous.

If you live here or are visiting the Keys, please make sure you designate a sober driver or call a taxi or a ride sharing service if you plan to drink alcohol.

Putting people in jail is not our goal, although we will if necessary. The goal is to prevent people from driving while impaired. Please help us with our goal – keep our roadways safe during this holiday period.

Remember: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Deputies will be protecting the public and stopping people who put others at risk by driving drunk.
