LIVE BLOG: Follow Along With Minnesota’s Largest DWI Enforcement Effort

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety will be tweeting every arrest from Friday's patrols. Catch all the tweets here.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has a new tool when it comes to deterring drunken driving: Twitter.

On Friday night, there will be 150 squads patrolling major corridors in the Twin Cities’ largest-ever, one-night, coordinated DWI enforcement effort. But this effort isn’t notable just because of its size; it will also offer Minnesotans the chance to follow along via Twitter.

The Department of Public Safety (@MnDPS_OTS) will tweet the age and gender of those arrested for DWI using the hashtag #May10DWI. Too busy to follow along in real time? Check out the agency’s tweets and other related mentions in the live blog above.
