Intense DUI Checks Planned in Colorado

Colorado Law enforcement to be out in force on weekend traditionally known for Christmas office parties.

The Colorado State Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state are gearing up for an effort to stop drunk drivers this coming weekend. Dubbed ‘Office Party Weekend’, DUI enforcement patrols will be out in force between 6 p.m. Friday, December 14 and 3 a.m. Monday, December 17.

With the notice of a drunk driving crackdown, law enforcement is hoping motorists plan in advance for safe driving alternatives, like assigning a designated driver and using a taxi service or public transportation. They also encourage party hosts to have plans to get friends and co-workers home safely. In Denver, the Colorado Department of Transportation, local businesses and law enforcement agencies are offering vouchers to party goers to reduce the cost of taking a cab this weekend.

Last year’s three day ‘Office Party Weekend’ DUI patrol resulted in 475 arrests for drunk driving. Law enforcement agencies are also planning a ‘Heat Is On!’ Campaign during New Year celebrations.
