RAMAPO — The Ramapo Police Department has made 252 arrests for driving while intoxicated and related offenses so far this year, including cases involving driving under the influence of drugs, according to department officials.

Police say the number reflects ongoing enforcement efforts aimed at keeping local roadways safe, but also highlights a troubling reality. While officers continue to make arrests, authorities note that the number of impaired drivers on the roads remains persistent.

“This is not a number to be proud of,” the department said in a statement, calling the total “sad and concerning” and a reminder of the dangers impaired driving poses to the community every day.

Officials emphasized that DWI enforcement remains a priority and warned that the number is expected to continue to rise as the year progresses. The department is urging drivers to make responsible choices, plan ahead, and avoid getting behind the wheel while impaired.

The Ramapo Police Department continues to partner with STOP-DWI New York and Rockland County STOP-DWI in efforts to reduce impaired driving through enforcement, education, and prevention.

Rockland Report Admin

The Suffern Police Department Detective Bureau, in partnership with the Rockland County Intelligence Center, recently conducted a proactive sweep of 35 local businesses to check for ATM and credit card skimming devices. No devices were detected.

Skimming devices are illegal tools used by criminals to capture payment card information during legitimate transactions—often without the victim’s knowledge. This stolen data can then be used to commit fraud and identity theft.

Proactive enforcement efforts like this play a critical role in safeguarding the community by preventing financial crimes before they occur and protecting both residents and local businesses. The Suffern Police Department remains committed to staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the continued safety and security of the community.
