Officers paid through a Governor’s Highway Safety Office grant charged 29 persons with driving under the influence 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 tendency for fatal crashes, crime and DUI arrests.
Additionally, the DUI Unit charged 22 persons last week with driving under the influence.
So far in 2009, extra-duty officers working under the grant have arrested 1,255 suspected drunk drivers, an increase of 33% compared to this time last year. The DUI Unit has arrested 1,035 suspected drunk drivers, an increase of 4% compared to the same time in 2008.
