The Beverly Hills Police Department is reminding fans to create a game plan and designate a sober driver if they plan to drink alcohol at a Super Bowl LVI party.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 13, the BHPD will deploy additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
“If you plan to have a drink or two, choose a sober way to get to and from wherever you are watching the game,” BHPD Chief Mark G. Stainbrook said. “Have a ride-hailing service or a family member who hasn’t been drinking take you home.”
The BHPD reminds the public that marijuana, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications can also cause impairment and can affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.
“When it comes to getting to and from places safely, we’re all on the same team,” Stainbrook added. “The choice is simple: don’t drive impaired.”
The Los Angeles Police Deparment and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s West Hollywood station will also deploy additional resources to combat impaired driving through out Super Bowl weekend.
