The Ocean City Police Department is ramping up impaired driving enforcement from March 13-17 as it prepares for its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and festival. People are encouraged to plan for a safe ride home with several options such as the Beach Bus, taxis, and rideshare services available.

Increased patrols will take place over the St. Patrick's Day Parade weekend and the actual holiday weekend.

After 72 arrests over last year's Super Bowl weekend, state and local police are teaming up to stop impaired drivers on Delaware roadways.
