The Anchorage Police Department and the Alaska State Troopers urge the public to not drive impaired during the holiday weekend.
APD has increased patrols for the Fourth of July weekend, starting late Wednesday night and continuing to Sunday, July 7.
Services are available this weekend to give impaired drivers a ride home.
The "Off the Road" program includes 40 bars that will call a free taxi ride home for someone who has had too much to drink, and will drive their vehicle home as well.
For all Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson service members or Department of Defense card holders, the Joint Base Against Drunk Driving volunteer program is available to pick you up.
