STOP DWI
Allegany County STOP-DWI Program
Scott Grantier, Coordinator
7 Court Street Rm 32 Belmont, NY 14813
Phone: 585.268.9486
The Allegany County STOP-DWI program remains committed to the goal of maintaining a safe environment for its residents by continuing to reduce alcohol related fatalities and injuries on its highways. The County program plan and budget continues to identify local problems, and the program coordinator develops strategies and determine costs to help meet the program goal in addressing the identified problem areas.
The Allegany County community stands united in its concern that police should remove the threat imposed by drunk drivers from our highways. The coordinator meets with police agencies throughout the year to plan DWI-related seminars and training and to discuss traffic issues. Furthermore, the Coordinator participates in the planning of unannounced DWI patrols which will be funded under contract in local municipalities. These agencies, including the New York State Police also participate in county-wide blanket patrols.
“We are dedicated to coordinating local efforts with Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Rehabilitation, Public Information, Education, and Administration. We aim to build strong collaborations and open communication with all stakeholders in our shared mission for public safety.” Scott Grantier, Director of Probation and STOP-DWI Program Coordinator
