# Was my Jamestown bridge DUI stop done by Jamestown PD or state police?

The Pell Bridge and the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge are patrolled almost exclusively by Rhode Island State Police, not Jamestown PD. The arrest paperwork confirms the agency. State police bridge stops follow different procedures than local PD stops, including different breath testing protocols and forms.
