Warwick, R.I. — Indulging too much on St. Patrick’s Day Saturday doesn’t have to end in disaster or tragedy within City limits, so long as you have the presence of mind to call the Warwick Police Department’s ‘Safe Rides’ program on its fourth anniversary.

Warwick Police will give you a free ride within city limits if you have the presence of mind to exercise some good judgement and call them first. Outside Warwick, you can also call on family, friends, and designate a sober driver in advance.

Bars and liquor-serving establishments throughout Warwick have been notified of the program and encouraged to promote the effort among their patrons, the Warwick Police report.

People are urged to call 401-468- 4200 for a ride anytime between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight on St. Patrick’s Day.

Citizen volunteers will be dispatched to establishments in the City and provide citizens a safe, free ride home anywhere
within the City of Warwick if they need a ride or have had too much to drink.
