RAMAPO, N.Y. — With prom season approaching, the Ramapo Police Department partnered with local agencies to deliver a powerful message to students: don’t drink and drive.

Officers took part in a mock DWI crash simulation at Ramapo High School, giving students a realistic look at the consequences of impaired driving. Students themselves participated as role players, helping recreate the scene and reinforce the emotional impact on their peers.

Officials say exercises like these are designed to show just how dangerous—and potentially life-changing—impaired driving decisions can be, especially during high-risk times like prom and graduation season.

The department thanked several partners for helping bring the demonstration together, including the East Ramapo Central School District, Spring Hill Community Ambulance Corps, Monsey Fire Department, the Rockland County Medical Examiner’s Office, Rockland County EMS, and Judge Straus.

Authorities emphasized that education and awareness remain key to keeping young drivers safe. Students are encouraged to plan ahead, avoid impaired driving, and make responsible choices.
