While many residents and visitors are enjoying the summer season, the Bayshore Task Force has been out in full force with its Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) saturation patrol.
Officers will be deployed in unmarked, semi-marked and marked patrol vehicles, seeking those driving under the influence.
Participating police departments include Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Hazlet, Highlands, Holmdel, Keansburg, Keyport, Matawan, Middletown and Union Beach.
Also participating in this year's task force are the New Jersey State Police Department and the Sandy Hook National Park Rangers.
The Bayshore Task Force will operate saturation checkpoints periodically throughout the year.
The force is funded through a grant from the New Jersey Department of Highway Traffic Safety.
Reckless driving, speeding, unsafe lane changing and aggressive driving are all grounds for violations.
The Bayshore Chiefs of Police ask drivers to be responsible, always have a designated driver, take mass transportation, reported impaired drivers and always buckle up.
