They say troopers from each of the agency's 11 troops will be conducting roving DUI patrols from Friday to Monday, Sept. 2.
"Your Connecticut State Troopers expect heavy traffic during this long holiday weekend. We remind drivers that arriving safely at their destination should always be their priority," says Colonel Daniel Loughman, commanding officer of the Connecticut State Police. "Drivers should plan for busy road conditions and proceed with caution. Following state traffic laws is everyone's responsibility."

Last year they responded to 5,196 service calls consisting of 25 DUI arrests and 313 accidents,
two of which were deadly.
