UTICA, NY — Oneida County had 121 drunk driving-related crashes last year, resulting in 9 deaths.

Additionally, more than 650 citations were issued to impaired drivers.

The county’s STOP-DWI program is in place to help reduce these numbers.

Today at Mohawk Valley Community College, law enforcement officers were recognized for their commitment to preventing impaired driving on Oneida County roadways.

The recipients of the Joseph Corr Outstanding DWI Law Enforcement Awards were:

  • Officer Joseph Aiello of the Utica Police Department.
  • Officer Zachary Correnti of the Yorkville Police Department.
  • Deputy Steven Eilers of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office.
  • Patrolman Zachary Hadasz of the Rome Police Department.
  • Trooper Cody Stewart of the New York State Police.
  • Officer Austin Szkotak of the New York Mills Police Department.
  • Officer Robert Cornish of the New Hartford Police Department.

“Our officers and deputies save countless lives every day, and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work and dedication,” said Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente.

The awards ceremony is sponsored by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Foundation.
