The decision to drive impaired carries a devastating price. While DWI penalties impact your life, career, and finances, the true, lasting cost is the trauma, injury, or life lost inflicted upon a victim and their family. Protect your community. Always plan a sober ride.

The decision to drive impaired creates a ripple that lasts years—affecting your family, job, and finances. A DWI leads to legal penalties, emotional strain on spouses/children, job loss, and financial ruin. Don't shatter your future. Plan a safe, sober ride.

Happy Holidays from the Port Jervis Police Department! We wish you joy and safety as you celebrate!
