New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, The Chief’s

In September 2023, a new article by Safe Night’s Dimitrios Mastoras, Reducing Impaired Driving Requires Multi-Component Approaches, was published in the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, The Chief’s Chronicle Magazine. 


The article discusses the benefits of multi-component, community-based approaches to reducing alcohol-related harm and impaired driving. MPO Mastoras calls for law enforcement agencies to begin working collaboratively with other municipal agencies and community stakeholders to manage alcohol-related harm and impaired driving. This includes a shift from reactive enforcement to strategies prioritizing prevention-based intervention and relationship-building. 


Successful multi-component models are also featured in the article, including the Arlington Restaurant Initiative, 24HourDallas' Good Neighbor Initiative, and Gold Bar Norfolk.
