This past Friday, Deputies Brooks and Becker trained staff at the Edinburg Common School in #stopthebleed. The program was developed by the American College of Surgeons to prepare the public to save lives if people nearby are severely bleeding. We hope it's never needed but are grateful for the staff's participation.

We’ve been nominated for a 2022 RISE Award for our Second Chance Program! RISE Awards recognize law enforcement officers and agencies nationwide for their extraordinary courage, compassion and dedication to community.![]()
![]()
We began the Second Chance program to address a practical and moral need for a new operationalized approach to build (and in some cases repair) the relationship between police and people suffering from addiction. Through the program, deputies follow up with and provide support to those struggling with addiction and their families. Since then, we’ve followed up with 565 people throughout Saratoga County and have made referrals to other resources 401 times. As a result of the follow ups Naloxone training has been conducted and dispensed 55 times.![]()

SARATOGA COUNTY REMINDS DRIVERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AHEAD OF SUPER BOWL![]()

Be the MVP of Super Bowl LVI and Spread the Message: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk![]()
![]()
Ballston Spa, NY — Americans love a good party, and Super Bowl LVI is one of the most anticipated. Super Bowl LVI is on Sunday, February 13, 2022. To keep drivers and partygoers safe on the roads, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is teaming up with the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office to remind football fans everywhere that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. Whether you’re heading out to a restaurant or a Super Bowl party, if your night involves drinking alcohol, make sure you plan for a designated driver to drive you home safely at the night’s end.![]()
![]()
“We want our community members to enjoy Super Bowl festivities, but we also want responsible drivers on the road,” said Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo. “If you are planning to be away from home during the Super Bowl, make a game plan to ensure you don’t find yourself without a designated driver if you need one. If you’re hosting a party, make sure you take care of your designated drivers. Remind your friends and family: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.”![]()
![]()
Never Drive Drunk![]()
Whether you’re attending a party, hosting one, or going out to a bar, keep safety at the forefront of your night. When it’s time to leave, make sure your designated driver is actually sober. If he or she has decided to drink, call a sober ride. If you are driving, remember that sober driving isn’t the only law that should be followed: Make sure you — and your passengers — wear your seat belts.![]()
![]()
Bonus Points for the Designated Drivers![]()
If you’re planning to be a designated driver, know that you’re the night’s MVP. No matter what, do not drink alcohol — people are relying on you. If you are attending a party or at a bar, enjoy the food, the company, and the nonalcoholic drinks. Encourage other designated drivers on social media using the hashtag #DesignatedDriver. Your positive influence could help keep them on the right track. If someone you know has been drinking and tries to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely. Even if they make a fuss in the moment, they’ll thank you later. ![]()

Host Play Book for the Win![]()
If you’re hosting a party for this year’s Super Bowl, prepare plenty of snacks and nonalcoholic drinks for your guests and the designated drivers.![]()
![]()
Ask your guests to designate their sober drivers in advance. Remind drinking guests that they have a long evening ahead of them and encourage them to pace themselves, to eat food, and to drink plenty of water. Another important reminder: Never serve alcohol to minors. If an underage person drinks and drives, the person who provided the alcohol can be held liable for any damage, injury, or death caused by the underage driver. In fact, you could face jail time if you host a gathering where alcohol is served to people under the age of 21.![]()

Drug-Impaired Driving Penalty Points![]()
Drunk driving isn’t the only risk on the road: Drug-impaired driving is also an increasing problem. If drivers are impaired by any substance — alcohol or other drugs — they should not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. It is illegal in all states and the District of Columbia to drive impaired by alcohol or other drugs. The bottom line is this: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. It’s that simple.![]()
![]()
Have a Game Plan![]()
Whether you are attending a party or going to a bar or restaurant, make a game plan and follow these simple tips for a safe and happy evening:![]()
![]()
Remember that it is never okay to drink and drive. Even if you’ve had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or a ride service to get home safely.![]()
If needed, call a rideshare service or taxi for a sober ride home.![]()
If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office at 518-885-6761 or your local law enforcement office.![]()
Do you have a friend who is about to drink and drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home safely.![]()
Only one team wins the Super Bowl, but if you drive drunk, you may lose money, your reputation, your car, and even your life. Everyone should know by now that it is illegal to drive impaired. In 2019, there were 10,142 people killed in drunk-driving crashes. The costs can be financial, too: If you’re caught drinking and driving, you can face jail time, lose your driver’s license and your vehicle, and pay up to $10,000 in attorney’s fees, fines, higher insurance rates, and lost wages.![]()
