According to MADD’s website, Saturation Saturday was first launched in 2016 in Missouri and has since grown to include law enforcement agencies in Illinois and New York.

This year, SAPD and Bexar County are two of 11 law enforcement agencies around San Antonio and surrounding areas that are participating in the nationwide effort, a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office news release said.
