City leaders in Galveston are looking to crack down on drunk driving after a string of deadly crashes on the island.
On Thursday, city council members approved an almost $50,000 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation that will provide more resources for officers and help crack down on unsafe, impaired, and distracted drivers.”We already have manpower, and we already have officers working extra duty hours. What this grant will do is pay for those extra duty hours,” Chief Doug Balli said.
“I’ve been with the police department since 1994, and I don’t know if I can recall a tougher four-week period in regard to traffic-related fatalities. It really has been tragic, and this hits the Galveston Police Department right in our heart,” Balli said.Balli says the department implemented its Traffic Safety Unit in August to operate 24/7 and officers have already made 55 DWI arrests.
