Media Release

During the holiday season there are many more people driving the roads in Hawaiʻi County than on an average day.  With that knowledge the Hawaiʻi Police Department is asking drivers to be extra cautious when traveling the roadways.  If you consume any intoxicating substance don’t drive.  Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous. Fatal crashes directly related to driving under the influence have devastated far too many families on the Big Island.   

We are asking for your help.  If you see a vehicle that is driving erratic or appears to be operated by a driver who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs please call the Police Department immediately.  935-3311 is the Non-emergency number and 911 can be called in an emergency. It takes our entire community working together to have the greatest impact on making our roads safe.

It’s easy “If you feel different,  You drive different.” Don’t drive under influence of any substance.
