By Howard B. Owens

If you plan to down a brew or two over Super Bowl weekend, local law enforcement officials hope you'll remember: Don't drink and drive.

To help emphasize the point, the State Police announced they will have extra patrols on roads throughout Western New York and troopers will also man check points at undisclosed locations.

The Sheriff's Office, according to Deputy Chief Gordon Dibble, will also have extra cruisers on the road, though no checkpoints are planned.

From the State Police announcement:

The State Police plan to provide increased patrols in hopes that increased visibility and enforcement efforts will ensure that this upcoming weekend will be a safe one for people in Western New York.

Troopers and investigators will also check on liquor stores and taverns to enforce age restrictions on alcohol consumption.
