TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas – 'Tis the season for dangerous drivers, and the Travis County Sheriff's Office is doing something to help everyone get home safely for the holidays.

  • Additional deputies deployed
  • Looking for impaired drivers
  • Initiative runs through New Year's Eve

Starting on Saturday, December 15, there will be more deputies on the streets in Travis County. The Texas Department of Transportation gave the office a grant in an effort to reduce drunken driving.

The initiative runs through New Year's Eve, December 31. The community is asked to report impaired drivers by calling 911.
