More than 100 police departments across New Jersey will be using $540,000 in overtime grants for a major statewide crackdown on driving while intoxicated starting this week and continuing through Labor Day weekend.

The semi-annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign begins Friday and runs until Sept. 3. The state’s Division of Highway Traffic Safety has handed out $540,000 in grant money to 110 law enforcement agencies around the state for the campaign.

Another 300 or so departments that don’t receive funding will also take part in the stepped-up enforcement as police officers look for drivers who might be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. That includes the State Police.

Officials say driving while intoxicated - either under the influence of alcohol or drugs - was the major contributing factor in more than one-fourth of the 591 fatal crashes that occurred on New Jersey roads in 2017. Those 158 alcohol/drug-related crashes killed 174 people.

“If you’re out there driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the odds are we’re going to stop you and arrest you,” Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety director Eric Heitmann said in a statement.

During last summer’s initiative, police made 1,196 DWI arrests and issued 4,764 speeding violations. Officers also handed out 3,194 seat belt violations and ticketed 1,490 drivers for cell phone or texting violations. Cops set up 20 DWI checkpoints and logged an estimated 6,200 additional hours patrolling New Jersey’s roads.

Officials also run the same campaign during the holiday season. From Dec. 7, 2018 to Jan. 1 police made 1,269 DWI arrests, issued 5,704 speeding and 3,125 seat belt citations.

The Division of Highway Traffic Safety also conducts an annual crackdown on texting and driving as well as one for seat belt offenders.
