Police Planning Colorado DUI Saturation Patrols

Law enforcement across state to participate in 18-day crackdown on drunk driving in Colorado.

Law enforcement agencies, including state patrol and local police departments, will be conducting saturation patrols looking for motorists driving under the influence in Colorado.

The Colorado Department of Transportation has announced that the agencies are participating in the national ‘Drunk Driving: Over the Limit, Under Arrest’ campaign. That campaign was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and it calls for both increased enforcement of DUI laws and a public awareness program.

The increased patrols are scheduled for an 18-day period between August 15 and September 2. That window includes the 2008 Labor Day weekend. Last year a similar crackdown on drunk driving offenses in Colorado netted 1,739 statewide DUI arrests.
