Before the New Year celebrations, the city has reinforced police measures to detect those who drive while intoxicated.
The police will be on the lookout for people who drive recklessly and irregularly.
Officers will be stationed along highways, avenues and side streets, including areas where bars and restaurants are located.
Officials recommend people prepare ahead if they plan to go out and drink alcohol.
This action comes after several legislators in Albany lobbied to tighten drunk driving laws.
These include reducing the acceptable blood alcohol content for driving in New York State from zero point eight percent to zero point five percent.
