Austin PD Starts Labor Day No Refusal Initiative Early

The Austin Police Department (APD) will be conducting an extended No Refusal Initiative for the upcoming Labor Day holiday.

This initiative will take place from August 17, 2018 through September 3, 2018 and will be operational 3 p.m. – 5 a.m. daily.

This initiative is an effort to enforce DWI laws, keep the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions and to apply for blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required by law.
