APD extends ‘no refusal’ initiative to be year-round
Friday, October 11, 2024 by Beth Bond
What has typically been a pronounced effort to keep the roads safe on holiday weekends will now be enforced year-round. The Austin Police Department’s “no refusal” initiative – when people suspected of driving while intoxicated are not allowed to refuse a sobriety test – will be in effect between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily throughout the entirety of the year. The initiative will also focus on highways and high-speed roadways.
