Officers paid through a Governor’s Highway Safety Office grant charged 47 persons with DUI last weekend in the police department’s continuing DUI initiative using extra duty officers. These officers target impaired drivers Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. in areas with a propensity for fatal crashes, crime and DUI arrests.
Additionally, the DUI Unit charged 34 persons last week for driving under the influence.
Enhanced visibility on Nashville’s roadways and zero tolerance for impaired drivers are the cornerstones of the police department’s DUI initiative.
So far this year, extra duty officers working under the grant have arrested 1,044 suspected drunk drivers, an increase of 44% compared to this time last year. The DUI Unit has arrested 777 suspected drunk drivers, an increase of 5% compared to this time last year.
