STROUDSBURG -- Police in the Poconos are warning drivers they will be cracking down on drunk drivers during the holidays.

Police said they will be keeping a closer eye on traffic looking for those who may be impaired.

At a news conference announcing the "Drive Sober, Or Get Pulled Over" effort on Monday, officers said there is zero tolerance for drunk driving.

"We do this every year, but this year we were trying to get more involved, more publicity and trying to get the bar owners involved and just to coordinate everything together," said Monroe County Chief Detective Eric Kerchner.

National statistics show more than 10,000 died from crashes where the driver was under the influence last year.
