This program has been in place since Chief Roles took office in 2018. Chief Roles said this will be the third year for the program. He said they've had more and more people participate in the program each year. He added this is the BPD's way of getting you home safe. You will not be in trouble with law enforcement if you drink and call dispatch for a ride.
