BERKELEY, CA \u2014 The Fremont Police Department issued a public service announcement ahead of St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
St. Patrick’s Day lands on Tuesday this year, and the Berkeley Police Department is reminding those celebrating to drink responsibly and plan for a safe passage home. <\/p>\n
“We want people to make St. Patrick\u2019s Day memorable for all the right reasons,” Lieutenant Lieutenant Rashawn Cummings said in a statement Monday. “Before you raise a glass, make sure you\u2019ve planned for a safe ride home, whether that\u2019s a designated sober driver, rideshare, taxi or public transportation.”<\/p>\n
The agency will have additional officers on patrol for St. Patrick’s Day, looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.<\/p>\n
“If you plan on drinking or taking medications with a driving warning label, let someone who is sober drive,” the department said. “If you see someone who appears to be driving while impaired, call 9-1-1.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BERKELEY, CA \u2014 The Fremont Police Department issued a public service announcement ahead of St. Patrick’s Day on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-222466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
