[Service] Office of Stop-DWI and Drug Prevention [Description] 
The Office of Stop-DWI and Drug Prevention: The Office of Stop-DWI and Drug Prevention works closely with municipalities in Westchester to minimize alcohol and drug abuse and reduce related injuries and traffic fatalities. The STOP-DWI program’s Patrol Project, for example, coordinates joint enforcement activities and reimburses municipalities for added DWI patrols and sobriety checkpoints. In 2008, more than $300,000 was allocated to reimburse local police departments for overtime incurred to enforce DWI laws. In addition, the STOP-DWI program supports and funds the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing training given to police recruits and veteran officers from departments around the county. The office is also involved in numerous public education initiatives in Westchester communities that teach middle school, high school and college students about the hazards of alcohol and drugs. The driving simulator is brought to local high schools to give students hands-on proof that a motor vehicle can’t be operated safely when a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And Operation Safe Prom is a partnership between the county and local communities to reduce the number of alcohol-related incidents during prom season
